I wouldn't worry about this. Balanced (XLR) cables are preferable for long runs where the potential for RF interference to be introduced via the cable is high. The "balanced" aspect means it has the ability to cancel out noise. For a short run there is no advantage. And when you use an XLR-RCA adapter you negate that ability anyway.
If you have time on your hands, do some experimentation with your other question: feed the digital out from a Transporter and a RPi to the same DAC and see if you can hear any difference. Get a friend to do the switching so it's at least "single-blind". Let us know what you find. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apesbrain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=738 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104681 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
