Also the balanced connection will have more components in line, either a transformer or a complete opposite phase amplifier. My experience has been the simpler the better so I would choose the RCA connection personally. BTW the maker of my equipment fits balanced XLR connection in case a customer wants to use it but advises that the sound quality will be inferior. Probably not everybody will hear the difference.......
