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.
