Accuphase DP77 Sounds Better Using Single Ended Out

Hi-Rez Highway

New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Hi,
Anyone experience that the Accuphase sounds more open using the RCA outputs? Looking at the signal path, it seems the balanced out is taken from the RCA output, would that then not make it a ture balanced signal? is the converting process to balance causing the preceived difference in openess.
I just used the the Blue rca acable that came with the unit, and it sounded as good as my upper-end balanced cable, but more open.
I know about the balanced pin configuration being different then USA balanced pin configuration, so that not an issue, I switch my speaker cable polarity, I also switch it back when using the RCA out.
Any one like to comment?
Big thanks,
Phil
