Well I'm looking for a high quality method to convert my soundcard's balanced output to SE. Most of what I have found online are the crappy in-line style converter transformers, but I already have some of these that I got from Guitar Center and they sound horrible. I can't afford to go with something nice like Lundahl transformers right now. So this pretty much leaves the active chip-based method.
Can anyone recommend a suitable circuit? Needless to say, I'm not too thrilled about having to insert another device into the signal path, so it must be as transparent as possible.
Do you guys think that the total cost of such a circuit and the quiet PS for it would put it in the range of some good transformers ~$150? Which method would be more transparent? Other suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
