Reply to comment by Amaakaams in Should I try balanced output on my new DAP; and if so, what cables/headphones/IEMs do I need? by Ocean898
> While the audible effect is low, the science is accurate, balanced should give you a lower noise floor (even if any particular amp has a pretty low noise floor).
While I'm definitely a noob on the matter, I think I've read somewhere that it should be the opposite: since balanced uses two amps per channel instead of one, with each amp introducing its own noise, the noise floor is basically doubled. So unless you're listening to double the volume just because you're using a balanced output, you'd end up with a lower SNR. Does that make sense? Maybe it's a balancing act (pun unintended) between amp and EMI noise?
Again, not pretending I know what I'm talking about, I'm just genuinely curious about this stuff.

I've tube rolled the balls off a LD2 and it really doesn't do much for me. It's sat unused for a year and needs to go on eBay. Magni 3 is just better.

Well the big difference was that the devices were large and therefore had lots of air around the tubes. In very small devices that doesnt work. And i am 99,9% sure that safety regulations were a bit looser back then. Bur yes you are right that most likely nothing will catch on fire. Although i wouldnt be sure with plastic foils or paper.

Yeah, I posted this up top, they do look nice, pretty much guarantee if you try some headphones with these hooked up you are gonna hear some good quality audio equipment. It's more of a status thing imho

It's just a novelty item to be honest. But I'm about to get flamed for this.

That's not true at all. Back when tubes were in everything most electronics were wooden boxes. They get hot but they don't get hot enough to set things on fire in normal use.

In this day and age most of the draw of using tube stuff is how it looks, not how it sounds. That's why basically all new tube stuff has them up front right in the open. Back when people used tubes because they had to they were almost always hidden inside, since the glow was an unwanted side effect.

In reality if you want better sound, buy better headphones and speakers.
