Master/slave link

[Mikeeo]

I really don't know. It's just a supposition that the impedance will be higher because the capacitance is low - according to wikipedia, the impedance for a low resistance line is the square root of the inductance divided by the capacitance, so low capacitance gives higher impedance if the inductance is the same.
This may be flawed though, I'm not an expert and I don't really want a thread to appear about this...

I thought Thierry had suggested a 110 ohm cable if it were attached to the AES/EBU on the companion, but maybe I'm mistaken.

Yes, Thierry told me that 110 ohm cable would be the best and nothing else than connecting the XLR plug in the same way Devialet informs on the homepage ie std way of connecting a RCA to XLR.
I run a 75 ohm with or without a transformer into the AES/EBU and that works better than the SE-SE version.

For those interested I thought I would post this picture of the Audioprana cable. The point to note is that it looks slightly different to the one shown on the Audioprana website, the connectors look slightly thinner (which is probably a good thing, because the cable shown here fits neatly with the Devialet's rear cover fitted), plus it has the additional wooden item part way down the cable. I'm not sure if they have changed the design, or if this is supplied "customised" to suit my stated requirements of using this as a Devialet dual mono link cable. It's basic design does look similar to other cables shown on their website though.

Confused, how does it sound or was it better?

Out of the very few things we get from Devialet on this topic was their recommendation to use 75 ohm cable and not 110ohm.

Err.. according to Mikeeo in post 131 above, Devialet told him to use 110 ohm cable.

Hi PhilP,

thanks for pointing this out. but i also refer to earlier posts on this thread by Ian reminding us to use 75 ohm cable and I believe Mikeeo is using a DIY VHAudio 75 ohm cable.

Confirm, 75 ohm, a slight positive effect when used input AES/EBU. I thinh Thierry is right that the AES/EBU input is better than the SE one hence even using a 75 ohm cable like me there is an advantage.
