"I purchased a pair of "Benchmark XLRF to RCA Adapter Cable for Analog Audio - pin 3 floating" to replace the LAiV XTR XLR to RCA adapters as my preamp only has RCA inputs. The LAiV XTR adapters are well made but they put a lot of strain on the XLR jacks on the LAiV uDAC. This alleviates that issue and I haven't heard any loss in sound quality. Highly recommended"
"First set of cables of any type like this. Presentation was more holographic than expected, and seemed to pull everything forward in the soundstage."
"Hey, John I have seen your request YouTube videos! Cool. Audioholics with Gene. . . Either way these cables are life savers for my entire rack. . . thanks so much for the engineering brother 👍"
"I recently purchased the Benchmark XLRF-to-RCA Adapter Cables to connect my Cambridge Audio CXN100 to my Benchmark DAC3 HGC, and I couldn’t be happier with them. I’ve also purchased the Benchmark DAC and amplifier, and one of the things I really appreciate about Benchmark is that I’m able to build a high-quality system around products designed and manufactured in the USA. These cables fit perfectly into that philosophy. The construction and quality are excellent, but what I especially appreciate is that Benchmark engineered these specifically for the application. The XLR-to-RCA configuration with pin 3 floating is not just a generic adapter—it is designed to properly interface a balanced XLR output with an unbalanced RCA input while avoiding an unnecessary connection on pin 3. That attention to the electrical details is exactly what I want from a company making professional-quality audio equipment. And they simply work. The connection is clean, quiet, secure, and completely trouble-free. I’m hearing excellent detail and dynamics from my system, with no hum or noise introduced by the connection. There are certainly much more expensive audiophile cables on the market, but I have a hard time seeing the justification for spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on an interconnect when a properly engineered cable like this does the job so well. At the price Benchmark charges, these are an outstanding value. Excellent engineering, excellent build quality, and a product designed around sound electrical principles rather than audiophile marketing. I’m very proud to have Benchmark components and cables in my system, and these adapter cables are another example of why. Highly recommended."
"These cables replaced ones that I was happy with and at a good price."
"Couldn’t ask for more quality cables at a great price. Highly recommended."
"Benchmark prodicts are always top notch. I buy without worry."
"Seems like a nice set of cables. . . bought a laiv micro dac going into my integrated tube amp and the laiv only has balanced outs. Old guy HiFi recommended them. . . . thanks Ed"
"Excellent cables"
"Thanks to expert advice from Benchmark Sales Manager Rory Rall, this cable was the perfect solution for my issue. Benchmark not only makes great stuff, they have great support!"
