I assume you have used machine translation. as "mass" instead of ground/earth is a common machine translation issue. If your subwoofer is unbalanced (signal + ground) and uses the same earth/ground for signal as the power supply, you can not connect the inputs to a...

I don't get it either. I use my REL line level input.

If the amp has a bridged/floating output (one that is not ground-referenced), and your active subwoofer inputs are ground-referenced, you are shorting the amp output to ground if you connect the sub inputs to the speaker outputs. That could definitely cause the magic smoke to escape.

Ever heard about expectation bias? :)

How do you avoid the crossover distortion? heavy feedback?

A picture still doesn't explain why. Anyway, this is a better illustration (stolen from the excellent "The G Word, or How to Get Your Audio off the Ground" by Bruno Putzeys );

Again - why? Please explain your logic.

Why not?

How have I prevented other opinions from existing? Indeed, appeal to authority does not count for much here.

If you equate a statement being questioned with being put up against a wall, then you might consider staying away from things with "science" in their name.

So my recommendation is to use pure passive cables for audio (as some DACs seem to have issues with the ICs).

It has clearly all to do with communication - between you and me. By "transmitter" and "receiver" I meant the person writing and the person reading. If it contains an IC it is not just a cable any more, it is an adapter. Are the cables that didn't work for you male-to-female adapter cables? A...

If communication fails, the problem might be with the receiver, but it could also be with the transmitter. I am interested, and it is not that I don't believe you, I just don't understand your point. OK, so basically "I had (unspecified) problems". I think that is called an anecdote.

Why?

You made it a discussion by claiming what I said was bad advice.

OK, so what was my "bad advice"?

I was responding to your:

Fortunately the world seems to be moving to USB C.

USB 1.0 and 2.0 is specified for 500 mA, USB 3.0 is 900 mA, so if you want to be sure, go for a USB 3.0 certified cable.

Enough to carry the needed current. Why do you want to know?
