Hi all, I would like to connect active speakers (Nubert A-100) to the ZEN DAC. What is the better connection option, RCA or back 4,4mm port? Is there a difference?
I don't have a RCA cable yet so running from 6,33mm port, even now this chain sounds really good.

OK, based on the official manual balanced port is recommended. Can anybody recommend good and not too expensive 4,4mm -> RCA cable? Or what would be the connectivity diagram? I could solder this myself using existing IEM cable with 4,4mm.

ZEN DAC is internally balanced and that's why balanced analog out is suggested. But you can also go from ZEN's RCA outs to your Nubert's RCA inputs and this will work as well.
4.4mm balanced out in ZEN is wired accordingly to Sony's Pentaconn spec.
