Topic: Hdspe AES & Cable question (to Stereo DAC connection)

Hello,

- Please, sorry for my bad Inglish, i'm French -

I've just buy and installed my Hdspe AES Card. I play virtual piano like "VSL Vienna imperial" I want to connect the Rme card to my DAC, a Mytek 192 DSD, wich have a AES input:

MYTEK 192 DSD

Because of noise consideration, the PC is not in the same room that the piano. So, i need a cable of about 10m. Do you advise me to prefer a long AES cable beetween the PC and the DAC and a short Analog cable beetween the DAC and the Amplifier, or the contrary ? (Short AES/Long Analog) Another solution is a short Db25-4m4fAES cable then a long Single AES cable.


There are so many AES cables on the net that makes me lost...

Can i use any DB25->4m4fAES XLR cable ? or is there a DB25 type to respect in particular, such "tascam type" or other thing ?

I found only cables that looks "cheap", like this one for exemple:

The cables seems so little !

Is this other cable OK ? it's a D25->4m4f XLR, but it's writte "compatible YAMAHA/MACKIE" (so not tascam ? rme ?)

Or this one (Cost a little much, maybe better ?)

I saw on this forum a post about this another cable:

it seems good, but i don't see any price (?!) and i don't know if i can buy it in France:

So, finally, which cable do you advise me ? Thx a lot for your help, i really need it ! wink
