Why doesn't Musical Fidelity offer balanced output

Does anyone know why? I really like their gear (especially cdp) but an absolute requirement for me is balanced outputs.

Far be it from me to dispute the opinion of someone who should know better than me. I also wouldn't be interested in the added cost.
