Yes Luis.... this was my first day being 47 years but I still feel 25

One more time :
a. I did not say the SD1 is 'professional'

b. I'm not the one that wants to hear the SD1 is 'professional'

c. Balanced/unbalanced .... none of them is more reliable. They are different types of transporting electrones.

d. The XLR/Neutrik connectors however, are more reliable than 6.3 mm jacks.

e. Balanced I/O can be realized with jack- and XLR type connectors.

f. Knowing instruments as SD1 are mostly used by musicians that call themselves 'professionals' does not make the SD1 a professional machine !

g. The SD1 is just a consumers product, built with 'standard' components (no military-spec or equal).

h. The sound of the SD1 is fantastic (in my view the best) but this does not make the SD1 'professional' either !

This is my last imput in this thread !
