Mani, congratulations with Pacific.

You will not have problems to drive with balanced Pacific your single-ended amp. Juts buy a good quality XLR to RCA adapter or order XLR to RCA cable and you will be set. You do not even need to care about the pins layout as it might be configurable by the unit itself. You will lose 3dB but Pacific has plenty output in its D/A section, I do not remember exactly but at 0dB digital it will swing near 7V or something like this. I do not use digital gain/attention with it.

 I do not think the output impedance of Pacific DA would be a problem.  It is directed-coupled and it has 20R – it will drive whatever you can imagine. The only thing that you need to be cautious is Pacific’s input impedance on analog side. It is 13K balanced and even less unbalanced.   You would need a relatively strong source to drive it to get of of your recordings a full LF bloom.
