is the mytek still only balanced out?
Nossir, either or. Just when going into an unbalanced component, pin 3 needs to be floating. I go unbalanced . I just finished a document on calibrating the unit with various amplifiers, and will be glad to help those with questions. Ive become really familiar with the unit over the past year, having had many conversations with Marcin about Operating details, various components used in the manufacturing, layout, etc..
I love Superlock Mode( everything is Upsampled to 24/192.) It has such an Open, Rich, Euphonic inviting sound.., very different from other DACs ive heard..Doesnt sound "digital" at all.
FYI, Chesky Records uses Mytek ADCs and DACs in their productions...
Samples of the Mytek can be found here
