That is generally believed to be true when connecting fully balanced gear (not single ended circuitry with balanced conversion for XLR jacks) and the reason that a manufacturer would go to the additional expense required. There are also those that believe a simpler signal path of single ended designs will sound best and that the additional expense of balanced circuitry is not beneficial or justified. Like with most things in high end audio there are often as many opinions as there are audiophiles.
