Thanks for your responses. Where do I get a DIN-XLR adaptor? Direct from Cardas, Audience, Kimber or Chord?
Interconnect question for Naimies
I have a CD5 and have the same problem all Naim owners do - DIN - so what is the forum's opinion on which cable best suites this player (linked to a ML Ref 32 preamp), recognizing that the cable manufacturer will have to special order a DIN-RCA/XLR connection for me?
I have tried Chord Chrysalis, that came with the CD5 and a Nordost Red Dawn. Some of the larger cables, eg Nordost Valhalla, cannot be "DINned". I believe Dominus has done so for one member, but apparently Jim Auld is not crazy about doing this. Any other suggestions/experiences? Silver Audio and Synergistic Reserach will do a custom Appassionata and Designer Fx. I love the CD5 sound but am not crazy about the Chord. Trouble is, you cant audition them, as when they're done, they're yours.
