Not this one, it uses a Korg Nutube I am guessing

That is normal, XLR is designed to operate at 4 to 6v while RCA uses around 2v, the final volume is matched to be the same.

I am surprised the Arya is doing well with the 500mW output of the r2r2k Red. Admittedly I have myself not tried the combination. I had a week long audition of the Arya out of a Cayin iHA6 over singe ended output, the OI on it was 10Ohms and it sounded terrible, vocals were thin and low end body...

yes it has developed a fault in the BAL out, I need to send it out for repairs, but I'm sure this is just one of the very few such cases in an otherwise reliable track record.
