As does Dopoque, I'd be surprised if you could tell the difference between RCAs and XLRs in your system unless you need very long runs (15 feet plus).
System worthy of XLR IC? If so, any recs?
My very modest main system is described below.
The Jolida amp unexpectedly arrived with XLR inputs - they weren't described in their literature - a very happy surprise.
I'm wondering if you experts think it would be worth swapping out my Red Dawn RCA IC for an XLR IC of some sort. And if so, if you have any recommendations for me in the $3-400 range. If there is such a thing.
It's not in the cards for me to buy and try a whole slew of IC's, but I could spin the wheel once if there's a compelling reason to do so.
My only other anticipated upgrade for a goodly while is the Cullen modification to my Sonos. After that I just need to just stop, let my ears catch up with my gear, and re-rip everything as lossless. Mostly the thing about my ears.
Thanks in advance for any advice. I can't stress enough what a fantastic resource this community has been for me.
