One thing about the Audioprana that will, perhaps,  make some of the purists out there happier, is that they use a 75/110 ohm transformer from Lundahl in the cable between the RCA and XLR connectors.

What is the benefit of this? I know there is more about this on the net and on this forum. Devialet also told me that there is no mening to use a 75/110 ohm transformer on the XLR input when I was looking for a new cable so I went for a Cabledyne RCA to XLR cable.

Matching the characteristic impedence between the connectors and the cable on both the output and (especially) the input ends, is supposed to reduce signal reflections and jitter.

Ok, I just went another route after reading on the forum and what Devialet wrote to me about their XLR input and it works perfectly, maybe it would be better with the transformer 75/110 I dont know and at this point I dont think the diffrenses are big.

Hi,

I did the comparison using a Lundahl 75/110 transformer at the XLR end (75 ohm cable). Compared to non transformed signal ie RCA to 75 ohm cable and XLR in the AES/EBU end I could not hear any difference.
I now run the Cabledyne 75 ohm RCA to XLR which sounds superb.
