I am currently having my Quad 33/405 updated by Lee at Redhill and I want to improve the interconnects as well, using 2 core screened Neotech 3004 cable which I know performs well with my son's Naim XS .
I want to make up a 5 pin din to rca to connect the preamp to Chord 2qute dac. The din plug is straightforward, with L and R channels and screen connected to the ground pin. I am unsure how to make the connections to the rca plugs. I have connected the signal cables to the centre pins of the rca plugs, but connected the screen to only one plug ( R channel). The interconnect works but only if the Chord is grounded from the screw terminal on the back of the case. (Incidently, should the 2qute be grounded to the 33 preamp which also has a ground terminal on the back?) Advice would be much appreciated.
