Is there a reason this doesn't list the word "balanced" anywhere or come up when searching for a balanced amp? It clearly looks like it has a balanced output in the photo. I was shopping for an amp with a balanced output yesterday and might have gone for this one if I knew about it. I am matching it with a Topping DAC so this would have made more sense than the SMSL I ended up ordering because it was the only one I could find in my price range.

This is not listed as a balanced amp because it is not a balanced amp: the 4-pin XLR output is only for convenience and is connected to the exact same circuitry as the 6.35mm output. See the attached picture from Topping's website.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention - we've added "balanced" to the name which should help with any future searches. I'm sorry that it didn't show up for you when you were looking.
