I have ordered the Legend R from Jack and he has recommended the BTG Starlight cable. I did notice that he was going to sell the SilverDragon cable, but ca no longer see this on his site.
I have a DAC/AMP Centrance hifi-m8 which comes with a 4Pin XLR connection. Could someone recommend to me between the two which would be better, or possibly an orternative. I would love to use the balance option on my DAC by using the 4pin XLR but also have the ability to have the connection available to connect to my ipod via the 3.5mm jack.
I did think of having the BTG Starlight cable as recommended by Jack

and having the ability to connect this when using the DAC/AMP, but I am not sure if I will receive a balanced connection

I have also looked into Moon audio which are expensive and been looking at this. Drew recommended this set up
You will want to do an adapter system. As shown here: http://moon-audio.com/JustAskDrew/2012/10/what-is-a-headphone-adapter-system/

however this setup was $400, which is out of the question.
So really I am looking for a great cable to go along with my Legend R.
