XLR to RCA
Is there anything I should be aware of by going from XLR to RCA?
Of course I know I will lose balanced common mode rejection advantages but curious if there is anything else I should be aware of.
I see XLR to RCA cables being sold from a few pounds to many hundreds. I don't get what advantages there are for buying a 'high end' cable instead of a cable that is well made with shielding.
Are there any significant voltage issues by going balanced to single ended?
I will need a cable in a short while to connect a DAC (which has XLR balanced outputs) to a RTR which only has RCA inputs. I'm already using the DAC's RCA output. The pre I'm using does not have tape outs - hence needing to take the signal from the source.
cheers
