Please clear up my confusion re: meaning of "balanced" !
the only hiccup would be a polarity issue because the standard for balanced connections is not the same from brand to brand you may have to reverse the polarity to maintain proper polarity because they may be wired with different balanced polarities. In this case, no hiccup. XLR pin assignments for the Aqua HiFi DAC and Schiit Audio amp are the same: Pin 1: Signal ground Pin 2: Signal + (non-inverting) Pin 3: Signal - (inverting) https://www.aquahifi.com/file/manuals/La_Voce_S3_manual_EN.pdf |
One thing to know with Schiit they build all their inputs and outputs to be live all the time. Running one out put does not cancelled the or turn the other out. Example you can run xlr out to xlr amp and run rca out to rca in on tape deck and both are live. Listen and record or listen from speakers and headphones if rca to headphone amp. |
Ordered Jotunheim (amp only). The black units are back-ordered 6-8 weeks and although I'd prefer black, as it would match all my other components, I went with silver, as I simply didn't want to wait that long. In the meantime, Patrick Cullen is making me some XLR IC's. Hopefully, by the end of next week, I'll be set... |
