Subjectively, is there an actual audible difference, presumably due to noise reduction, between using the balanced input and the unbalanced input of the L50? Reason I ask, is that I'm looking to add a headphone amp to my E50 dac. The plan is to use the E50's balanced outputs to a pair of active speakers and its RCA's to either a new L50 or new L30II.
But if there is an audible difference with headphones, then I might just connect to the aforementioned monitors via unbalanced and keep it balanced for the headphone side.
