Another Chris (Johnson) said it was due to bad red book CD’s. Turns out the player had lots of problems reading discs. ozzy

For this particular pairing, balanced makes a difference despite Oppo's claim that XLR and RCA outputs should sound identical. Ayre emphasizes fully balanced and zero feedback design, so my experience may not generalize to preamps or processors of other manufacturers. db
