I was told by a designer of high-end DACs that the digital signal much prefers the AES/EBU to the point that using adapters to RCA is still a net positive. I’ve no personal experience doing this, but I trust his advice as much as adding extra connections goes against my intuitive grain.
Just a thought here but,,,,,,xlr adapters?
My OPPO UDP205 used as a DAC has XLR output sockets. the rca outputs are currently being used.
My Revox B-77 has RCA inputs and outputs.
My pre-amp Audio Research SP-9 MK III, RCA inputs
Recording speed, 7 1/2 ips. 10 inch reels.
I was thinking of XLR adapters for the Revox's input / output to help with tape noise not so much from the dac but to the pre amp.
Any thoughts? suggestions? constructive criticisms?

@joes44 - I had a similar question to yours and thought of using a pre-amp to deal with the different connctors - see... https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/is-the-schiit-magnius-up-to-the-task But the type of cable/connector will NOT resolve Tape Noise Regards - Steve |
