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.

If you're talking about analog outputs galvanic isolation wouldn't come into play at all it's really about what sounds better adapters or a custom cable.

@jond,

This is from the Laiv Harmony µDAC website and it clearly states analog circuits also?

LAIV Harmony µDAC: Galvanic isolation The µDAC’s digital and analog circuits are galvanically isolated to avoid ground loops and guarantee a clean, interference-free path for the sound signal.

Keep hope alive! smiley

And please keep in mind, I have very limited knowledge on how things work electronically in audio circuitry. So please forgive my ignorance if my questions sound soo - well, ignorant...

Contact Pine Tree Audio, they make excellent cables at affordable costs; and probably have no problem making a custom cable

@jond ​​​​@steakster,

It took me awhile to figure it out but what I gleaned from you guys and the internet is galvanic isolation is only circuit board based, with nothing to do with external connectors. Much appreciated fellas.
