My Marantz SA10 sacd player is a different player when balance ic is used, It sounds more musical and dynamic.
SQ difference XLR vs RCA ?
I’ve read lots of the discussions on this forum about balanced vs single ended connections. My understanding so far is that balanced connection has better signal to noise than single ended, which helps if you have hum or noise problems or if you have long runs.
My question is this: if I have a quiet system with short runs, do balanced connections sound better?
