Hi
Looking for an aes/ebu xlr to go between my Mutec and Aqvox.
A sort of Goldilocks cable, nothing too expensive but not too cheap. Probably needs to be about 1 metre, but not critical as I could shuffle stuff around.
Anything?
Cheers
Steve

HAven't got a spare Steve, but the Wire World micro Eclipse 7 works brilliantly in that position for me.

Yup there. I have pure copper XLR's on one and SAEC gold plated brass on the other (need two running away from streamer to mutec then dac). The pure copper ones do sound a little better but I would struggle to detect which is which in all honesty. |

I had to buy xlr connectors so thought may as well do the pure copper 👮 😁 |

Excellent advice, much appreciated.
Just a thought. Well, actually I will do anything rather than the decorating I’m supposed to be doing.
However it’s been a while since I fiddled with the Mutec. But just a thought, does it output to all connections at once? So at present I’m outputting to the dac via a coax cable. Do I need to change any settings if I simply plug in an AES xlr to the dac instead?

I might be wrong but I think it can output over AES/coax and bnc simultaneously? |

That’s great.
I guess I’d soon find out.
The Mutec buttons fill me with fear.

I’ve thought about Steve. All outputs are definitely live as I’ve used it to compare 2 different types of cable, just changing the input on the Aqvox.
