Hi,Hi @AndrewM888
If I have a DAC with only XLR outputs... but I don't want to use the XLR inputs of THX789 because the gain is too high (even on lowest gain setting) - do XLR-to-RCA cables provide the same benefits as the RCA-to-XLR cables you've recommended for RCA-only output DACs?
No issues with XLR (DAC end) to RCA (THX789 end) cables?
Unfortunately you can't take XLR bal out from DAC and reduce to RCA because it will short one of your DAC bal outputs.
Just use XLR DAC out to AMP XLR in. For a given headphone jack e.g. 1/4", the 789 gain is same whether using RCA or XLR input. It has a diff input stage.
