No Hugo does not I don't know as Hugo and TT runs un balanced se, well TT has xlr connections. The advantage to xlr is secure connection and self cleaning. There are no sound benefits.
A dedicated ground per channel is indeed a benefit (lower noise floor) and outputting your signal to a balanced amp that requires a balanced input to utilize the entire circuitry and power of said amp is yet another benefit. Those XLR connections are to use your TT as a dedicated DAC and feed out a balanced signal to balanced amplifier (headphone, speaker, e-stat amp).
I'm not saying a balanced amp is always better, cause it's not. Like most things in this world...it depends.
Thank you good to know for TT users as an option. I have not thought that far ahead yet.
