Why do most DACs come with RCA jacks they are inferior


Recommended Posts

  Many of the Pro audio dacs use TRS connectors and not XLR. For space saving reasons. 

  Not a fan of RCA connectors. Like  any of the other options. Really liked the Locking DIN Deltron plugs and jacks. DNM used these. 

  The Crown are better sounding when driven with a balanced signal.

  The Focusrite Clarett 4Pre I am using has TRS only. TRS jacks makes it easy to do Single ended or balanced conversion.

  Insert a TRS plug and you have a balanced circuit. Use a TS plug and it is single ended output. All all units are designed to function like this. The negative output is buffered to allow long term shorting to ground.
