My views on the ceramics were based on them at their best through the balanced
Well I can't comment on their balanced as I haven't heard it.
But in my experience with most balanced DAPs I've heard (and I've heard a few now) - the differences are often overblown. No-one - bothers to volume match properly - and no-one blind tests. And unless the balanced operates on a totally different circuit with some pretty big filters in place to attenuate that lower treble (and I've never seen a balanced set-up do that before) - then I'm afraid ......
Chris (@Hawaiibadboy) did you get a chance to compare balanced vs SE on the CL1? Any improvement? Did it transform them?
