Hey Blackstone,

There's a few reasons we use balanced over single-ended in Ayre's products. As mentioned, we are fully balanced in every portion of the circuit (we're one of the few companies that do not simply offer globally balanced units, but are also locally balanced in every stage). This helps the circuit reject generated noise from RFI, etc., just as balanced cables are better at rejecting external noise than single-ended cables. If you have unbalanced circuitry anywhere in the system, you have a vulnerability to external noise, so you really want to make sure if your balanced products are truly balanced for this reason, even at the power supply.

We pretty much exclusively listen to our products in balanced mode for this reason when dialing everything in, so if you want what we feel is the best experience with Ayre products, you'll definitely want to put an XLR between them.
