Just received my TA-ZH1ES today and would like to know what cables should i get to connect the TA-ZH1ES to my Yamaha Hs7 monitors, XLR > RCA or 6.3mm Jack > Rca?

Also what cables do you guy´s suggest?
I´m in Europe and would like to spend no more than 100€ on a pair of cables

As the pre out from the TA is single ended RCA you will need 2 wires, each with an RCA plug one end and a 6,3 mm mono plug the other end. I have no idea if such cables can be bought standard or have to be custom made, I've never seen such a cable.

Thanks for the reply, i´m aware that i would need 2 cables, one for each monitor. So i´m assuming that this would do the work, am I correct?

Yes that seems to be correct. It's been 10 days since the dock was sent so it ought to arrive first half of next week but I must admit it is the first time I've used that shipper outside of Denmark (have used them many times within Denmark)

Thanks, think i´m gonna order a pair of those Mogami cables then, i know they are good cables for the price paid, since all my guitar cables are Mogami also.
Was not expecting to take so much time yo receive the TA tough.

Just noticed that they also have XLR to RCA, wouldn´t that be better soundwise?

According to the Yamaha manual the xlr ports expect to receive a balanced signal and the TA only sends a single ended signal so I don’t think it will work but I really don’t know

Thanks again for the prompt reply, better safe than sorry, so i´m not gonna take any risks and will order the neutriks to rca!

Anyone using a power conditioner with the TA? If yes, does it make sense to invest in such a product?

Anyone know how this compares to the Sony HAP-S1? Thanks

2 entirely different products so I don’t really see how one could compare then

They are both headphone amps and DACS....why can’t they be compared?

The S1 is a speaker amp that happens to also have a headphone out. It primarily plays music stored on the unit but as an afterthought does have optical and coax in but no usb.

The TA is a dedicated dac and headphone amp.

I own both. As said, two different products. My HAP-S1 is connected to the TA & i'd say it's on another level now. Anyone considering buying the TA, i would say don't hesitate. It's so versatile.

Guys, my TA is up for sale in the Classifieds now, along with my Z1R. Selling as I need funds for my Garrard 301 project.
