I have two active speakers with line in, there is a mini to line in Y cable that comes with 1 Meter lengths or 3 Meter lengths. Will the 3M degrade the CC signal to the speakers.

I have just bought a new PIoneer U-05 DAC/preamplifier to be used with the digital output of the CCA, and on really good modern recordings the Pioneer sounds a bit better. On older recordings I cannot hear a difference.Willemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01421405679737892329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-72066626758448352982019-01-11T17:21:48.924-08:002019-01-11T17:21:48.924-08:00I'm really surprised.
