| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs @millercarbon I see what you mean. One thing is why would any possible distortion be present through the pre-outs but not through the speaker outs? I don’t think the power amp is doing anything to make the signal out of the pre-amp cleaner. I figu... | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs Wanted to post a follow up. I've spoken to all 3 companies in the mix, Rythmic, Cambridge Audio, and Schiit, they all said to use the RCA line out with a Y splitter. They said the speaker post connection would at best sound the same, but have the ... | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs @almarg I understand I meant terminate as just the end of the cable. You're right I miss-spoke saying pre-amp, I meant power amp. Thanks for the explanation! | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs I completely agree, that's the main reason I didn't want to go with any kind of adapter/splitter and just figure out some way to get a direct connection. It bugs me to spend money on better speaker cables and then terminate them with a Y-splitter.... | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs @millercarbon Thanks that's a lot of good info, I'll read up on it more closely, seems like real easy job. I ended up buying the Y-splitter to see how that works out in the mean time. I could already use some cheap stock rca's I have laying around... | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs @lalitk It’s just a PITA to return plus having to pay for return shipping for a 50lb package. And Rhythmic doesn’t have another similarly priced option. If I end up returning it I’ll get an SVS SB1000 which was my 2nd choice. It’s really annoying ... | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs I’ve done some more reading and found using an XLR to RCA cable is a bad idea. Mainly because to make the cable the XLR (-) lead is shorted to the ground lead on the RCA side, which could cause feedback issues and potential damage, so those option... | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs @jtcf I just don’t see the reasoning in using a Y adapter if I could just use a straight cable from the source to the Sub. Is the adapter going to give me a better connection or signal in some way than a straight cable? I would still need to spend... | |
| Sub wiring help, high level speaker terminal to RCA line level Sub inputs @yogiboy The CXN has 2 outputs I can use, RCA and XLR, so adding a Y adapter to one seems to just add unnecessary connectors. @m-db Yes I know the Aegir XLR input is for mono, what I meant in option 2 is to use an XLR to RCA cable from the XLR out... | |
| Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more Yes | |
| Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more I know, maybe I should've written "prefer" than "have to". Just for simplicity I don't want to worry about adding another access point, cabling, power outlets, etc.. | |
| Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more I’m in the same boat trying to find the best streamer/dac/preamp all in one units. My one other caveat is I need it to have wifi, I don’t have ethernet where my equipment is.I’ve been using the Cambridge Audio CXNv2 and think it’s very good for th... |
