Balanced Inputs


I have a preamp that has only one set of balanced inputs. What source would I get the most benfit using the balanced inputs:  My external DAC or phono preamp?

Balanced inputs often offer 6dB increased gain. That can be valuable for a phono, worthless for a DAC.

...depends.....many times balanced connections are included, but they are not balanced at all, but are a sales gimmick
