Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic

I think this topic deserves its own thread , where use double ic through y adapters , from source to preamp, Can’t connect it from Preamp to Amp...For me the result is huge, I can’t go back to single ic....

I have the Benchmark AHB2 and DAC3 and came across this IC method on the Benchmark AHB2 Impressions thread.  So I just ordered a set of balanced XLR Y-cables and IC's from Bluejeans Cables, as an experiment.  The Y-cables and IC's will all be 1 footers to keep the loom of spaghetti under control.  I went from a star quad cable to a lower capacitance Van Damme and immediately noticed a change in the sound that I liked so I am curious to see how the Schroeder Method works in my setup.

Hello,

The minimum Y is 1’ at Blue Jeans so that means 2’ of Y and in order to minimize capacitance, I ordered 1’ IC’s. So the total length of my cable is 3’.  But the split happens at the Neutrik connector so while it is physically part of the Y assembly, it is just 2 cables coming from that connector, if that makes sense.

So you are saying this is not a good configuration. If not, I can still cancel my order.

Thank you for responding.
