Lack of balanced outs isn’t an absolute showstopper; the wiring diagram for phono to XLR is in the ATC manual and a decent dealer should be able to make you suitable cables, or you can buy them online from people like designacable. Balanced does have advantages though, as it is less susceptible to some kinds of noise. The cable is the same for balanced or unbalanced, and is awful lot easier to run and much less conspicuous than Naim type speaker cable. And cheaper. Win win win win win.I’ll hunt out a dealer. This has come about because I was contemplating spending 4K on a pair of Yamaha NS2000, and then looked at the alternatives… it just seems to make more sense…
I also have an Audiolab 8200CDQ which has XLR outs.
