RCA to Din interconnect question

Hi-Fi Corner
1

I’m having a senior moment and need a simple question answering - which despite reading the faq about interconnects I am unclear about!
I wish to connect a non Naim phono preamp with RCA outputs to a din connection input Aux on my SN3.
Do I need an RCA to 4 pin Din interconnect or an RCA to 5 pin din interconnect?
Thank you to whoever clears up my brain fog!

But I’d use RCA both ends and go into another line input :wink:

I gathered as have just read an extensive set of posts from you about this topic… very informative.

I’m interested in this advice. Is this because the tuner isn’t powered?

Give it a go it’s free and very surprising if done properly.
I cancelled my complete system din conversion when I tried it. :wink:

Yes it’s a free input.
The only aux on my SN3 is a din. :-1:t2:

I use rca to rca from my Lejonkleu phono stage to 552dr, works well and it’s not a custom cable or anything

I don’t use din at all on my pre so going to get a full set I think, even though I can’t see them round the back, keeps things nice n clean

While I have you……

I’m thinking of making some of the mains cables, same as yours, I want to try and neaten everything up. What parts and cable did you use?

Bit off topic I know

14

Is it the socket to iec or mains socket to block and sockets.

I come straight out the wall socket into each component, I don’t use any type of multi plug thing anymore

Hi @Skeptikal

Did you get the RCA caps/covers from the same person?
Thank you.

No they were an easy find on the bay.
The din caps took a bit of sleuthing size etc.

Great advice, I built a set recently using your components. Took a chance and shortened the cables though to avoid slack and floor contact. I can’t discern any SQ difference
