But funny thing, I just saw your message and also just this second sat down to the PC to start looking for a good sub. My DAC/preamp has a pair of balanced outputs available; or I would have to use a splitter on the RCA's to connect to a subwoofer. Please share any thoughts you have about how it should/would/might work. Thanx. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to come over next weekend. I will bring my Figured Walnut Heresy and a few amps. I was hoping that you could bring your speakers here because of the room treatment I have and the amps we could try. If you have hardwood floors and or reflective surfaces, and or if your room has equal walls (a cube), then that would cause problems.

Rob RME ADI 2 FS dac/pre Not a lot of XLR subwoofers so xlr to rca cables for sub, rca for both with Y cables, or subwoofers with speaker level inputs.

babadono Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 If going from an XLR OUTPUT to a RCA INPUT be careful how you hook that up. I have no idea what the circuit topology of the RME DAC is but if the Minus output (usually pin 3) of the XLR is an active signal you do not want to tie to ground on your unbalanced RCA input. Much safer just to Y off the RCA output. Then use the subs LP filter control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
