    Stupid question here. It doesn't seem to me that there would be any sonic benefit to using a DB-25 cable over say 8 separate XLR cables would there??? At the end o the day it still seems to be the same kind of analogue connection, just in a different form factor. Can anyone confirm that? I would be using it for mic'ing a drum kit, and would really love to go with a custom made DB-25 cable for a variety of reasons, if possible. But, I don't want to do it if it's going to screw with the sound quality, or signal in any way.

    9:25 Are we really surprised Best Buy doesn't sell DB25 connector cables? 😂Not going to lie I had never heard of that connector before would be curious to how they are wired up internally. I counted 25 holes in your pre-pro so 3 x 8 = 24 so I wonder if the last one isn't connected or what it's for since I'm assuming each speaker gets 3 pins similar to how each xlr cable is 3 pin. I wonder if by keeping each individually sleeved helps with channel separation but honestly not sure how much that kind of thing really matters scientifically speaking. Definitely not an audioquest fan but cool that they were willing to make a custom cable for this.

    @@Antimonkat i mean I've heard of dvi/vga but those are for video not audio. After further investigation it seems like pro audio stuff uses this style of connection and I looked up the pin layout and there's two layouts and trinov uses the tascam layout where pin 13 (top left one) isn't hooked up. Edit: and regards to printers and scanners I was too young at that point to where I would not have been the one setting up a printer lol (28 right now).

    @@TylerStout dvi actually can carry audio, but yeah db25, it's a parallel cable interface that, like I said was more for printers and scanners, and yeah for 8 channels of balanced connection you only need 8x3, aka 24 pins, so a db25, with 25 pins gives you one more than you need. All this is doing really is a pin out conversion, pretty straightforward, and way more compact. Pretty smart actually, not sure you could get 32 xlr connections on that thing.

    @Antimonkat3 жыл бұрын

    I don't know. just seems like you take away all that quality construction and a lot of the benefits they claim by lopping off the end and shoving all 24 conductors in a tiny little connector and small, hence high gauge pins. If you're going to spend all the money on the cable, might as well get the "full benefit" and keep their original construction intact for that pristine signal integrity end to end, and if you're after convenience, then seems like an over spend on something that acoustically probably doesn't matter.

    I’ve been told going through the xlr or db25 is the same quality as they’re both analog. This is from Trinnov themselves. I wouldn’t have went this route otherwise. And “probably “ it doesn’t matter and probably it does. But for me personally if I’ve dropped some serious coin on a top tier product I wouldn’t want to skimp in other areas. That rational is fine for other folks but not for me.

    @@therealshanelee Yeah i didn't mean from the connector side, trinov is right, it shouldn't matter, pins are pins. I meant more from the cable side, by cutting the ends and going in to a single connector spaced closely together, you remove at least some of what makes those cables expensive in the first place. All that matters is how it sounds, and how its use fits your needs. If it works for you, then cool, that's all you have to worry about.

    @@therealshanelee I feel this is a niche brand. I suspect most audio enthusiasts know that investing in quality speakers, procesesors and amps is where the focus should be when it comes to a significant difference in upgrading the sound quality. If you already have all that, then spending in good quality cables makes sense. However, in my opinion, this brand is for a niche market that "feels" they are getting something better because they are spending a shit load of money. So when I say "no thanks" this is what I mean.
