SQ difference XLR vs RCA ?

@russ69

Just to be an old curmudgeon, RCAs have worked just fine for me over the last 55 years.

hey russ -- you don’t know what you have been missing all this time... 🤣🤣

Balanced cables always sound better whether you can hear it or not.

so when an xlr interconnect gets unplugged in a deserted forest, does the sound degradation truly exist?  😂😅

Some DACs are a SE design. In these cases there would be little to no improvement using XLR unless a long run required.
More of an improvement if the DAC is a balanced design.

I’ve initially tried XLRs because the increased signal. 

My Marantz SA10 sacd player is a different player when balance ic is used, It sounds more musical and dynamic.

@jjss49 Yes🤪
