Master/slave link

[Mikeeo]

I don't understand how using a 75 ohm cable into an input that should be optimized for 110 ohms is optimal for sound quality.

I mailed Thierry several times on this topic and either I had a nonsense answer or none at all. The closest Thierry came was probably when he wrote that the Devialet proprietary solutions take care of such issues.
As I said before on this forum, I do think that their recommendation for digital XLR has been one of quality (the plugs) but as you say a 110 ohm designated input with 75 ohms ???

It would be good for once if Devialet could announce clearly what they see the best solution. However I do not think they know anything at the moment as they are busy running for a bigger market.
From my standpoint I would like to link my units with AES/EBU - AES/EBU (but for some reason the AES/EBU is an input only function).

Time will tell (I hope)/Mike

Perhaps the Devialet needs more than one AES/EBU port? There you go that's the wish list for the next gen Devialet started!

Yes I had similar conversations with Thierry myself. If I recall his explanation was the presence of a transformer on the AES input which makes it qualitatively better.

At least they have always been consistent in saying that the AES/EBU input is the best digital input. That's why I connect my totaldac server via AES/EBU. For the connection from master to slave I chose the best S/PDIF I could find.

I must say I am quite curious to try this Audioprana cable which at 260 euros sounds like a bargain.

As I am not too keen on cutting one of the ends on my 75 ohmers even if I soldered them my self. I think I will try the Audioprana first to see the promised light
Double AES, I'll vote for that!

Just had a look at Audioprana homepage! Quite impressive! I like their solutions with cotton/wood/silver.
I will go ahead and order as soon as I know if these rather thick wooden RCA will be able to reside next to the other plugins.
Any one that could confirm that both AES as dig2 on the Devialet will still be usable if plugging in this 'thick' wooden RCA?
