@SSS,It should be balanced input to balanced output
The whole idea of a balanced input is that it extracts the difference and re-references it to the local GND. Making the internal circuits after this re-referencing point balanced just adds complexity and gains nothing.
Fully balanced (without re-referencing) is doomed because common-mode noise will pass through and any slight imbalance in CMRR here or further downstream will be converted directly into signal, meh.
