I can't really get my head around this
how is using RCA to AES/EBU making the improvements?

I would understand if it was AES/EBU to AES/EBU

am i just not seeing something guys?

As I have understand the AES/EBU input is better than the RCA so this is going to give you better sound I use this but if it is better I really dont know.

I understand the AES/EBU is a superior connection but if the output is coming via a RCA then there isnt any benefit to be gained in the first place

Indeed it does. And of course, everything they say is true. Especially about AIR.

I would like to understand how this cable can affect overall SQ when, as far as I can see, it is only driving one side of the stereo pair. Do I miss something?

this is how i am seeing it too
but then its only going to receive the quality of data that its being fed from a RCA and so cancels out any advantage the socket may have
...well at least thats my understanding


@completeluxury
very valid point


my guess any perceived SQ benefit is surely down the the better quality cable being used rather than the sockets being utilised?

or its simply a trick played on us by our hearing.

Ive never cared much to investigate the difference in linking solutions myself so i dont have much to offer in the way of an opinion on the 2 linking methods.
