Default Headphone Amp - Balanced or Not?

Am shopping for a dedicated headphone amp that will be running Audeze LCD-3, Focal Clear & Sennheiser HD 650 headphones and am wondering how important 'balanced' outputs might be?

Am considering amps such as the Woo WA6, WA6-SE & WA22, Audeze Deckard, and Bryston BHA-1. Of these, only the WA22 & BHA-1 are balanced and priced accordingly. Prefer not to have an amp with a built-in DAC, though that is not a deal killer.
