firedog Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hi- Bought a KRK Ergo (pro audio device: Pre/DAC/DSP Room Correction). The RC is licensed from Lyngdorf, it's basically a poor man's version of a Lyngdorf DPA-1. My question is this: My music server PC has 6 pin FW ports, and the Ergo does also. I presently have a 6 pin FW cable (male both ends). The Ergo has an extenal PS, so I don't need to power it from the FW cable. I've read here I might get better sound if connect the Ergo to the PC with 4 pins only (no power). I see that there are 6pin/4pin male FW cables. But after a web search, I don't see any cable plus adapter that will enable me to connect the 4pin side of such a cable to the 6 pin female port on the PC, so that I'm not supplying power over the cable to the pre/DAC. What am I missing? Sorry if the solution is obvious, it isn't to me. First time I've worked with FW and audio.
