Hi,

I have a RME ADI-2 FS DAC. It has 2 unbalanced RCA line outputs and 2 XLR line outputs (not servo balanced!). I am using the RCA line outputs to connect my integrated amp. I want to connect my active subwoofer to my DAC as well. But my sub only has rca line inputs. What do I need to transform a balanced signal into an unbalanced one? There are all kind of adapters available but which one do I need?

Thank you,
FabriceS

You're welcome. Benchmark has a similar cable for a bit more $.

I have my DAC connected via XLR outputs working fine. However when trying to run in parallel the RCA out to my Crown amp in bridge mode I'm getting no output to the RCA connected sub. This is supposed to work by default right, there is no setting for dual output as far as I find? Any suggestions?
