Topic: RME AIO Balanced In or Not?

Hi
I've upgraded my card from a 9632 to the HDSPe AIO and the card came with both RCA and the Balanced Neutrik option cables.
I used to have connected my 9632 to the tape in-out connections of my Mackie Pro FX 22.
Since it's a little messy for me to change the configuration of my connections for testing purposes (and maybe require buy more cables) I would like to know if I'll get any benefit from connect the main balanced out from the Mackie to the HDSPe AIO input?
It's a little home studio.
The balanced out of the Mackie are connected to my VXT8 monitors btw.


TIA

Kind Regards

You could get slightly better quality signal using balanced cables (less noise in theory). But that doesn't mean that you'll hear any improvement.

Balanced signals are neither less noisy nor will they sound better. They may, however, be less prone to external interference.
