How long are the XLR cables? You have a manual that says that XLR sound better? Under what circumstances?
Cables & streamers
Cables matter. I just reconfigured my system to allow for xlr connection instead of rca. Also inserted ps audio integrated to replace battery power 60 watt 5 amp amp,Music was great / engaging before, definitely more depth and tighter/ deeper/ clearer with xlr. Still has body, not fatigued. Just more controlled energy and 3d dimensionality. It’s not all the amp, it does help but its not the whole story. The red wine amp isnt going anywhere, its pretty great within limits. There r aspects with Maggy .6 that I prefer it for. The xlr cable is Heimdal. Modwright oppo dac that the manual states xlr sounds better. Just didn’t have the opportunity to test it out.

if the Q is xlr vs. rca, xlr wins. $:performance is another. In my system, I can hear the electric hum/buzz when my pre is connect via rca. with xlrs, the noise diminishes to a silent hiss. the only issue is the gain in xlrs. i'm not sure whether listening at 20 on the pre using xlrs or 35 on the pre using rca makes a difference, but the gain is a factor.

@roadcykler "Cables make no objective difference." I absolutely agree with you if you have a crappy system 💩 Misery begats misery We all miss the olden days when we had bell wire screwed into the rear of our components. What innocent times they were |
