To have used balanced outputs with a bus powered device would have severely increased power consumption and inhearantly reduced the battery life of the computer.
It is important to note that there is no difference sonically between balanced and unbalanced outputs, just level and cable run lengths. Since the vast majority of Duet users have powered speakers and aren't running 1000' cable lines from center-stage to front-of-house at Wembley Staduim, the application of unbalanced outputs on Duet is not only totally sensible, it's also more flexible.

Does it work with the Duet? Has it been tested, or maybe meanwhile the whole thing has been fixed in the MBP with a firmware update or something like that? |
Duet runs great on MacBook Pros

You assume correctly. All Core Audio apps are supported.
