I’m planning to connect my RME ADI (functioning as a DAC/Preamp) to PowerAmp NAD C298 through XLR. This is my first XLR experience and I have two questions?
(1) there is a note in the RMe manual (regarding 3 pins) which I don’t understand its implications. Please see the note as attached, and let me know if a regular XLR cable would work in my case?
(2) does the quality of XLR cable matter? I have found a few on Amazon; can you tell me which one is the best for my case. They all show XLR cable for Mic, is that ok? Or should I look for particular specifications?
(3) is it a good idea to connect my sub to unbalance output of the RME while the amp is also connected to the XLR? Or it’s better to connect my sub to the amp unbalanced output?
