The Ono has balanced outputs but it is not truly balanced. It is single ended until the output stage and then an inverted signal is created to provide a balanced output.
I've had both an Ono and X-ono amd the X is definitely more "in your face" than your unit.
The question you pose is impossible to answer unless you state your budget. Phono stages are available up to $30,000 or more.
