If however a design is completely balanced from input to output, those people who are not interested in this feature are locked into the sonic penalty that this type of design can entail, which includes more noise from the added active electronics and a harsher distortion spectra.
Of course, if you read everything available on this harshly debated topic, you might also think that this statement is pure and simple marketing BS too... depending on what you want to sell. You can't hear even, or odd, distortion noise if it is at a level too low to hear... wink

As with most things regarding audio playback... each person needs to try it out for themselves in their own system and see what sounds best for them.
