You should use RCA rather than XLR as the latter is balanced, and itâs best not to mix balanced and unbalanced connections.
Naim will not make cables under 1 metre long as they say that it is detrimental to performance. Chord are the same with their DIN cables intended for use with Naim equipment.
I know its heresy on here but first get yourself a mid quality rca to din from ebay or amazon. After that the worldâs your oyster in terms of silver, cryogenic , rolled on the thighs of vestal virgins interconnects. I find that a good quality cable with well terminated ends is sufficient. Each to their own though.
For my two pennyworth, consider a RCA to Din from the Atlas range.
Every cable of theirs Iâve heard seems to make a genuine difference to what youâre hearing, without switching back and forth over and over to perform an A/B testâŚ
You can buy Mogami on Amazon so easy to return if not up to snuff. I still have Mogami speaker cable in system and did try an interconnect however snaic and Atlas options both sounded âfullerâ.
I have bought the âChord Clearway Xâ 1m RCA to Dinn to connect my Auralic Altair G1 to my SN2, it replaced an âAudioquest Yukonâ 1m RCA to RCA cable.
Have it now for one week and I am not in pressed, in about two weeks I will change back to the RCA to RCA cable.
Next week I will also receive âKudos KS-1â 2x4m speaker cable to replace my âAudioQuest X2â 2x2m speaker cable.
