Thanks for replying, ahmonge!
Fully balanced amplifiers show more power out of the balanced socket than the single ended one.
Is a matter of cost and convenience, I presume. The low cost of a single ended amp plus the convenience of being compatible with headphone balanced cables.
Right, understood...Of course, all comes down to dollars and cents. Guess the DX7 Pro is still the only Topping AIO with fully-balanced architecture?
Yes, you're right. For AIO balanced Fiio has a new model, the K9 Pro, that has a nice set of features.
No, I dont mean by testing the product. Sometimes its marketed as fully balance but in reality the circuitry design are half balance or single ended.
I was answering to your first question “How to tell whether are they fully balanced or not ?“
Right but how to tell before purchasing it ? Read specs ? What if false claims ?
Yes, by reading specs. If you don't believe the manufacturer's specifications, it's best not to buy anything from them. Well, this is what I do.
Some stated its not balance. I wish everybody is ethical.
Yea so basically its single ended but with the 4 pin XLR input. That is very common.
Of course !
