audio research LS15 preamplifier


what is the difference between balanced input and direct input in the LS15 preamp? can somebody provide some information on these?
my cd player has only RCA output, can I used a RCA/XLR adapter and connect it to balanced or direct input on the LS15?

Does anyone else have experience comparing the "Direct" input, using balanced outs from their CD player or DAC vs. using the "regular" CD input using RCA cables without any adapters, that is. Any significant audible gains in going balanced in "Direct"?
