Trying to understand the absolute quality of the headphone amp section. If I understand correctly, SNR @ 50 mV is the key real-world measure, i.e., where we will be listening to actual music. With that measure, the DX7 Pro is about 80.6, at the margin of tier 1 and tier 2

So, my questions:
1. Did I get that right? If not, pls point me in a better direction on how to compare to the SOTA and is any difference at this level of excellence audible?
2. Will balanced output make any difference? (perhaps 2-3 dB better?)
