Is your amp truly differentially balanced from input to output, or does it simply have XLR inputs?
CDP with XLR outs?
I have now my CDP connected directly to my amp via RCA jacks and I control the volume via the CDP remote.
I thought I should upgrade my front end... and considering that my amp (Sonic Frontiers) can accept XLR balanced input - I was wondering if I should make that extra effort and seek out players that offer XLR out.
I have no experience playing with cabling so as of now I really never had the opportunity to evaluate the sonic implications of different types of interconnects.
My budget for a used CDP is up to $800 - which means that if I really want XLR out - there is maybe one or two units (Like Creek 53) - but if I hear your comments and understand that it maybe better for me to just stick with unbalanced RCA - then I can look at other units.
thanks!
