HT Preamp-Processors w/ Balanced inputs & outputs

I'm beginning to shop for a new HT Preamp/Processor to replace my Parasound AVC-1800 & I'm not finding many w/balanced inputs as well as balanced outputs.
If I'm using an unbalanced digital coax input to a pre-pro how is the signal modified to balanced output to the amp?...is there any type of signal loss/degradation?

Integra Research RDC7.1, and Krell come to mind.

The balanced digital input is modified in the same way that a SE digital input is. Both are decoded from the S/PDIF or AES/EBU signal and a balanced analog signal is created in the pre/pro. There's no direct balanced processing anyway.
