Default Help needed - a basic question about balanced-unbalanced connections

Hi All!

My first post even before introducing myself (so stuck with this)
and with a basic question

For sake of experimenting I'm used to have my Neutrick trs NYS SPP patchbay (greyjacks back - split/isolated) between my AW4416 unbalanced outs and my processors in (also unbalanced) connected with balanced cables (TRS all wires connected).

it's a strange mixture

But a mores serious recording/mixing job came along and I would like to know how can I get the best S/N ratio withould loosing peak level, or to put it simplier, what is the best way to connect the above.

Skip the patchbay and link the most wanted ext. processors to the 4 outs?

Use patchbay with unbalanced cabling and unbalanced patch cords?

turn my balanced Qed Qunex2 2/3meter long cable (over 14 of them) into unbalaced ones (how do I do this?)

Skip the posh cabling and use a simple Hosa 8x unbalanced snake instead?

Grateful for your answers and advices

Pedrowsky
