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! ---

5 👍🏻 But I’d use RCA both ends and go into another line input 😉 My Urika goes into my Tuner RCA ---

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. 😉 ---

Yes it’s a free input. The only aux on my SN3 is a din. 👎🏻 ![Caps1](https://d2ikyu8xyuibjx.cloudfront.net/original/4X/c/1/0/c10c7aaf17e3cd520e4afc467be936c4a4b89b84.jpeg) ---

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 ---

No they were an easy find on the bay. The din caps took a bit of sleuthing size etc. RCA Dust Caps Item 313674743034 ---

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 [Next page](https://community.naimaudio.com/t/rca-to-din-interconnect-question/38607.md?page=2)
