The sound emanating from the RAW-MDA1 varied by source input naturally, and the music source being used. I did prefer the balanced output for listening over the 6.35mm single-ended.

The balanced option helped to spread the soundstage out, allowing the instruments to exercise in their own space. Plus, the balanced output gives a cleaner signature, to me.

The RAW-MDA1 promotes a nearly neutral signature, displaying warmth and richness only if the source or music played does so (or when one of the cool filters is chosen). This comes across as one of the more neutral DAC/amps I have tried and is similar to the DL100.
