    Electrical noise from speakers when PC is on, regardless if using soundcard/USB -> unbalanced dac/balanced dac

    Problem: When computer off, very quiet white noise from speakers. When computer on, nasty electrical noise when idle. When computer doing heavy work (CPU or GPU, probably power draw related), absolutely awful squealing. This has been a pain for years, and finally remembered to try out using a...

    How do I connect the stack to audio speakers correctly?

    Good time of day. Please tell me how best to connect the Airpulse A300 pro stereo pair to my stack. Stack Topping D90SE\A90D. Is it possible to connect the A300 XLR to the A90D (already connected by XLR balance to the DAC)? Or do I need to change the circuit by reconnecting the stack via RCA to...

    Gustard R26 XLR, RCA SQ

    This issue has been touched upon but not precisely, when BOTH XLR and RCA outputs are being used simultaneously…. Setup: XLR out (via converter) to RCA monoblocks, short run, AND RCA out to dual subs with independent gain and crossover control. Audible, unmeasured findings seem that once the...

    DAC XLR to AMP RCA

    I‘m planning to complement my amp with a dac that is placed in a different corner of the room — multiple meters apart. From what I‘ve read, an XLR connection is strongly preferrable for long distances. The dac I consider getting (dacmagic 200m) has XLR outs, however, my amp (axa35) only has...

    Never used Fender XLR interconnect 10FT. I have sold my Genelec setup and no longer need XLR cables. Was planning to use it with a sub. As you know Balanced cables are perfect for subwoofer connections as they are noise-immune. $10 + actual shipping. They sell for $35 plus shipping.

    DAC / Preamp after failure of Topping D90SE at 82 days

    Advice please on which SMSL DAC / Preamp to choose. The SU10, or the D400EX, or the D400ES, or other of similar capability. Great XLR output quality (power & SINAD) highest priority. LDAC is desireable but not essential. Two Topping failures in less than 8 months makes me nervous, so a company...

    Douk Audio U5 Balanced XLR headphone amp

    This fell into the "Cheap enough, worth a pop" category so decided to get one to play around with. It arrived this morning, no power supply just a USB A to Barrel jack cable and the unit itself, thing is tiny. Got it hooked up to a Topping E50 via XLR and powered at the min with a cheap generic...

    Worth upgrading from Fiio K5 Pro (RCA) to a balanced DAC for more than 1 reason.

    Current combo : Kali Audio LP6 + FiiO K5 Pro connected with RCA. I am happy with the combo, was wondering if upgrading to a balanced DAC/xlr will be worth it? Reasons: Want to try XLR cables (hoping for better audio) + K5 Pro has a weird problem: It does not mute the monitors if I connect...

    Which balanced cable do I need to connect a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 to a pair of KRK Rokit RP5 G4?

    The interface has two 1/4 inch output lines, one for each speaker and the KRKs have one XLR female and 1/4 inch combined input each one. Would this be good? It's a XLR Male to 1/4 inch TRS balanced cable...

    Hi! The aim is to connect coaxial source to 4i4 mic input. So I'm going to solder an adapter. Would it be correct to connect this way coaxial ground -> XLR ground and one of balanced line (say, negative) coaxial signal -> another XLR balanced line (say, positive) ? I have not seen 4i4 mic...

    Which one is better? RCA vs XLR

    Is XLR significantly better than RCA? If that's the case then why don't big manufacturers use them on their products? Kef r3, ls50 meta, elac dbr 62 etc. don't have XLR.

    Capacitor between XLR shell and ground pin

    The topic isn't new, but still seems to be contested. Here and here it is advised to add 100pF capacitor in a way that both pin #1 and shell are connected. Is this what's normally recommended or connection between the cable and pin should be severed? Also, what is the optimal capacitor...

So my plan is to redo the wiring and connect each of the two EM272 to an XLR plug, like this product, but i have no idea where each cable should go on the...

    My headphone's XLR pin or connecter is melting/melted what the fuck

    Was just unplugging my AKG K371 and noticed that the XLR connecter's outer tube was a little sticky for some reason. As I took a closer look I was shocked to find that there were some golden liquid stains surrounding the outer XLR connecter tube (it looks something like melted gold in liquid...
