Default "Value" Mic Transformers

I was just talking to John Hardy about transformers. I have an old Revox C279 desk with six preamps. I always liked the sound of the preamps and the desk has both pre and post fader outs, but they're unbalanced.

I can go from them to my A/D converter and into Pro Tools via light pipe and they sound nice, but I'm wondering how much if any difference there'd be if I used a good transformer to balance the signal before the A/D converter.. I'm only running a 3 ft cable so I'm pretty sure I'm not losing a lot.

Regards,

Ty
