That goofy balanced RCA one-off Khadas tried to use
Personally I am zero fan of TS/TRS, and the example here is partly why - there are a bazillion cables out there of random quality and configuration, especially once you start including adapters - but I can see why Topping uses them here / on the E50. I'd also prefer XLR. I'm actually surprised there's been few complaints of the adapters not fitting on the back / the weight of the adapters pulling this little amp around. I use decent quality TRS-> XLR cables to attach my E50 to my balanced amp and I have to practically sticky-tape the boxes down.
That's the thing, these tiny little project box products can't even support a decent bunch of connectors on the back before being pulled off the desk/table/rack and tumbling down the back onto the floor!
Give me real HiFi anyday, stuff that doesn't necessarily come with bits of double sided tape in the box to hold it down.
