RCA to XLR adaptor for Ayre, is it worth it?


I have an Ayre V3 which has both XLR-in and RCA-in; according to Ayre, it is much prefered to operate the V3 in the balanced mode.

Currently I only have RCA-out from my source/pre and I'm using the RCA-in on the V3. Is it worth the effort to use a RCA-XLR adaptor and have the V3 switched to the balanced mode?

Currently I don't have the space and $ to switch to a balanced pre setup.

common mode noise rejection isn't a requirement cos I don't plan to run any cable longer than 4 ft.

I think the long term plan is to get something like a Benchmark DAC1, Lavry or Apogeee DAC to drive it directly.

it's a 2nd system in the house ... so no budget no space (if I have $ i would put it against the primary system)

I guess I'll leave it as-is for now.

thanks to all :-)
