F-XLR to M-RCA recommendations
For equipment with XLR out going to RCA ins, are there any "audiophile" grade cables you can recommend. I checked a few of well-regarded suppliers (BJC, Anti, etc.) with no luck. Of course, Amazon has a ton of $12 - $20 cables - they're not striking me as hi-fi grade to complement my system.
Fwiw, I'm considering the new microDac from Laiv and this'd be the first piece of equipment, that has only XLR outputs, that I would be purchasing.
For cost, would like to keep it under $250-ish.

@snowdog57, thank you for this post, the Laiv uDac is exactly the next dac I wanted to try out and was wondering how to connect to my Micrzotl MZ3 that only has rca jacks? @mulveling, my man! Thanks for the tip on those Cardas f-xlr to f-rca adapters. @fatdaddy2, I know exactly what you mean about potential signal loss/degradation as I never wanted to use an adapter for a vacuum tube because I was afraid of the excess heat the heaters/tubes may generate. But my rca interconnectors for the Laiv uDac are going to be the 聖 Hijiri HCI-R10 rca interconnect that I already have and I like their sound. Plus having an adapter is such a short run, I thought I might as well give it a try. |
@steakster, how do you compare the performance/cost between the Purist Audio Design adapters you tried and the Cardas adapters? |
