    Cheap ADC recommendations

    DAC suggestion for THX AAA 789

    I wonder how would cheap audio interfaces equipped with balanced outputs (like Steinberg UR22mkII, Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 or similar) measure. I know (unbalanced) Behringer measured pretty good here, except for anemic output. I wonder if balanced outs on other devices might be a benefit?
