That is false and it’s amazing how frequently this myth is repeated. Many truly balance... | |
| Sirius XM for 80 year olds....... fool's errand? There's an app for XM to run on iPad and it works fine. You can use the HDMI digital out adapter to connect to a DAC. | |
| Which is best, using balanced or non-balanced connection? gdnrbob ... the equipment should adhere to the AES Balanced Standard. Otherwise, all bets are off ...
