Personally, I would go with the Desktop Max, and avoid having to restrict myself to using balanced cans, and then perhaps a balanced source.
Especially considering your use of computer as source.
*I* like the versatility of staying with normal single-ended equipment, and the Max module is very good anyway.
I have a Max, in addition to a Desktop with Home module -- very good amps, and also several other high-quality amps as well.
I have never felt a need to go balanced, myself. But that's just me.
