Thanks to Rafal123 post above, I did not have to go thru a lot of troubleshooting steps he had gone thru.
I recently acquired a short speaker cable (4' Audience 24 SX) which required me to move my companion unit about 12' from the master unit. I ordered a 15' Blue Jeans cable with the same specs as my 3' BJ cable. The sound was wonderful with new speaker cables except I could not play 24/192 files from Oppo->Mutec->250pro(AES). This combination worked well with 3' cable.
Then I came across Rafal123's post and we exchanged PMs. Unfortunately , I could not get RCA->XLR (75->100 ohm)impedance transformer, so I ordered BNC->XLR transformer like below. They also have similar transformer from Canare.

After inserting the transformer, I can play 24/192 files without any problems. The sound is wonderful but I also felt that the companion/Right Speaker could have gained couple of DBs to be at par with Left speaker . I need to test this with SPL meter though.
I think AudioPrana cables already have a passive transformer like this built in.
Even if you are using shorter link cables, I would certainly encourage you to try a similar transformer if you are using RCA->XLR link cable.
