I currently have the MX135 and just traded a MC7205 (5 channel version of the MC206)in aon a MC205 and the 205 doesn't have it. So I think McIntosh is going to phase that connection out. I never tried it but I can only imagine that it would sound worse. I was told by a McIntosh rep that they include that mainly for dedicated HT installs and for people that really don't care about the sound. (why buy mcintosh?) But that is my opinion.

I would see if any one chimes in on that, but me feeling is RCA to Xlr woul be better than XLR to RCA. Just my feeling s on that no real experience to speak from. Does the 206 have XLR my 7205 had only RCA?
