Is There Such a Thing as "Quality" RCA to 1/4" TS Adapters?
Like the title says... I'm looking at different options to connect my DAC to an amp, and am considering just getting a nice RCA interconnect, but then I'd need to use 1/4" TS adapters on one end. Can anyone recommend something they deem "high quality" so I can take a look? Google searches seem to come up w/ only cheap ones...maybe there is no such thing as a high quality one, though...
I'm guessing... dual male RCA to stereo phono plug?
or... female phono jack to going to dual rca's?
(I recommend the former, as it forgoes a unnecessary connection)
Either way, you could easily DIY one following this guide(same as the mini-to-rca), or get someone on the forums to make one for you.
Star quad for very acceptable quality at a good price.
I can't think of a lot of applications for 1/4 trs to dual rca's.. so I doubt there are a lot of commercial offerings.
I think Blue Jeans Cable might be able to cook one up for you. You'd need to email them. I think I got a price quote at one time for what you ask for.
For a good quality, inexpensive option (for instance) = link
X2. Blue Jean cables has always come through for me on all my crazy/esoteric cable needs, give them a shot. Also I would look at Sweetwater, they specialize in pro audio gear and though their cables look utilitarian, they are well made and fairly priced. Good luck!
I'll throw S² Audio's name into the mix. Scott's good at making cables, and he himself has probably built a few of these, since some of his equipment would use this type of cable.
