Rca cable for my hifi system

[hybridauth_Google_117364081398234604241]

Hi ,

I am ending my hifi system , everything is ordered , but i have some hesitations about the rca cable : i've ordered a 8m audioquest evergreen , but now i checked some tests and what a hifi rates it 3/5 stars , with a lot of inperfections. I can cancel the order for these , and take another rca cable , so this is why i come to this forum : what should i do

- i keep this rca cable ?

-i order another ?

So , if this last choice would be better , what rca cable would you advise me , for at least 6 meters length and under 100e ?

My system is :b&w 683s2 , nad c370 amp and cambridge dacmagic 100 in order to play my music from tidal.

Thanks , Andrei

Just buy a 5 star cable within that budget.

Single RCA subwoofer cable? Analogue stereo pair? Digital co-ax?

At that length I am guessing it's not a stereo pair. 🙂

It's a rca cable that goes from my dac which is near my pc , to my amp which is in the middle of the room

Ok. In that case i'd invest in a 6 metre optical cable and a short RCA pair.

Or (if USB) a combination of a USB cable up to 5m (maximum) then a 1 - 2m RCA pair.

Either way, let the digital part of the distance do the 'heavy lifting' and keep the analogue portion to a minimum.

Keeping the DAC's PSU off the same mains sockets as the PC is usually a good idea too.

Actually , i don't have an optical output in my pc , and i already have bought an usb cable that is 1m ...

Might it not be more cost effective to move DAC next to amp? Just a thought.
