Is Naims DIN inputs balanced?

[Peter Larsen]

I have a Naim Nait XS with DIN inputs and a DacMagic with balanced XLR outputs.

Will I gain anything by going XLR > DIN as opposed to now where my cable is RCA > DIN.

Is DIN plugs balanced the same way as XLR?

Naim's DIN connections are not balanced.

Before spending a fortune on XLR -> DIN leads, check with Naim's technical folk and see if they think there is any benefit over an RCA -> DIN lead or not.

I have always found them very helpful.
