If you use sensitive earphone like SE846 then u must go with Bal port!
If u don't then SE is just fine! I still think Bal port bring a little bit better SQ to user but u need 2.5-3.5 adapter for your cable when you want to try another DAP/DAC/amp ^^ or you should have 2 cables with balance and unbalance jack ^^

Have been using only balance since I got it. But lately when tried out SE , was shocked at how good it is. This was not a case for Onkyo where its balance was clearly superior.
