hi again,

TS "audiophile" unbalanced.
most of the time, the "audiophile" out sounded cleaner and punchier.
DR9.
to be clear about connection impedances
XRL connectors comes with a standard professional LOW-Z 600 Ohm inpedance
TS Line connectors requires High ZI impedance...

if you connect a Line High ZI in a XLR Input (or viceversa) you are in wrong connection....
the frequency response will gives you a BAD sound.. you can use Neve, Universal Audio or the better Analog bilion dollars value gear... but you always get a big "fake sound"
This is not related with output +4 or -10 Db features!!!!
Obviously, the cable connection must have a perfect matched for your system
I repeat the point.
+4db OUT is the professional standard.
-10db out is consumer standard for Home, iPod, Hifi system.
Apogee Duet gives a great sound.. but cannot be used (my opinion) in a professional production as a Main Output interface...
otherwise it can be used for professional recording!
It is a great Firewire RECORDING INTERFACE! (-10db output was a small disappointment for me)
