No because it doesn't play a role in signal delivery.Interesting. Does the shield of the balanced cable have to be lifted to isolate ground loops?

There is a limit to common mode rejection in equipment. If you exceed that, or equipment is not designed well, you still get hum.I run the mixing board for a local rock and roll band. I frequently have ground loop hum in different night clubs. It usually goes away by unplugging the cable to one of the stage monitors or some other piece of equipment and they all use balanced XLR cables?
it's on sale again.
what kind of XLR cables are 'good enough'? I remember amirm once said RCA for Amazon basics are good, what about XLR? they do have an XLR cable, but it's 6 feet (longer than needed in most cases) and sold as a single cable, not a pair. any other options? does it matter if it says 'microphone cable'?

Markertek is good too.nice, Redco.com prices seem reasonable. although lots of choice can be overwhelming.
I've read mixed reviews about that.Star-quad xlr cables are the best ones.
Sure:

To see why it is so elevated I ran an FFT 1 Khz using the same 90 kHz bandwidth:

The ultrasonic tones around the sampling rate of 48 kHz is causing the high THD+N.
Well if you want a balanced DAC for future proofing then yeah it's perfect, cheap.Hmm. Buying the SDAC-Balanced for the unbalanced output temporarily...for probably 1~2 years or longer before i probably decide to get a balanced amp. Do you think it's worth the investment over the modi 3? Tbh, I don't even know if I might buy a balanced amp anytime soon, but seeing as there's a buncha used good balanced amp that retail for around $150 to $200 like the H10 Gustard, I was thinking maybe the flexibility is worth it.
