Hi guys,
So I'm playing music through my active Event Opals that are fed directly from my Oppo bdp 105, so no pre-amp in between.
Now I have the choice to connect the Opal's with XLR (balanced) or RCA (unbalanced) connections. The balanced output of the Oppo is 4v while the unbalanced voltage is 2v, which means the balanced output is louder.
My reasoning is that it's better to connect the Opal's unbalanced so that I can set the volume louder on the Oppo resulting in less chance of my signal getting detoriated by the volume control.
Correct ?
Then secondly I could adjust the level on the Opal's to -6 dB which means that I can set the volume on the Oppo even higher, resulting in less chance of my signal getting detoriated by the volume control.
Correct ?
Thanks for the input
