I've had a few high end CD players where, when I used both the RCA and XLR outputs, there was a subtle (or bigger) degradation of the sound; don't know why. Anyone else experience this?
Is it save to convert XLR to RCA?
Dear Audio Gurus,
I have a Harman Kardon HD990 player, which has two outputs: RCA and XLR. I'd like to use them both. However, my amps and pre-amps all take RCA. I know of XLR-to-RCA cables. But the HD990 specs mention that RCS is a 2V output whereas XLR is 4V. Am I going to damage my amps and pre-amps by trying this?
Thanks,
Walfredo
