Hi,

I suspect a misunderstanding.

We are never talking about

  unbalanced out --> balanced in

we are only talking about

  balanced out --> unbalanced in


The difference would be

balanced out        unbalanced in
            + ─────
            - ┐
            0 ┴────

to

balanced out        unbalanced in
            + ─────
            - ────┐
            0 ────┴

IMO it doesn't make a difference.

Regards,
Ralf
