This will vary with the associated equipment, some xlr implementations could be quite shoddy , so one have to try both with what you have at hand. Best case scenario is as described by Anne assuming short cable and TP rca/xlr outputs are equally good and the recieving amp has equally good inputs. I have also experienced that "xlr is better" but with some power amps, I've had the opposite result ? -- Mnyb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63433 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
