They mention an XLR connector on the back and there is one spot where the word 'balanced' does occur; technically this is correct since neither side of the XLR outputs is at ground. But I suspect that's more of a copy/editing issue since what they really have there is the 4-wire connection.
If you've not heard the 4 wire hookup, its worthwhile. In a 3-wire connection, there is out of phase information that is cancelled in the ground for either channel, which is common. In a 4-wire setup this doesn't happen so you hear more stuff!
Also this headphone amp isn't targeted at studios.
