Sunfire Cinema Grande balanced?

Sometimes cost can dictate even in the higher end audio world. I was also told that pins 1 and 3 are shorted internally to make everything work correctly with no one knowing the better of it. I love my Sunfire but don't wan't to waste my hard earned cash upgrading to XLR when it would not be an upgrade at all.

Check the unit specifications for the XLR pinout. If it lists positive, negative, and ground (I forget the corresponding pin numbers) then it is a true XLR. I doubt that Bob Carver would pull a stunt like this which would border on fraud if the XLR is only two wire.
