Hi-Line RCA/DIN

Posted by: Drikus on 26 April 2018

I'm looking for a Hi-Line RCA / 5 pin DIN but I have no idea how the RCA side looks like. Found one on that well known auction site. Is this the real thing, I mean a factory terminated Hi-Line?

Drills, that looks like the real thing to me.

Ok great, thx Rich but looking a bit further I see you can order them new with a 5 pin DIN to 2x RCA or a 2x RCA to 5pin DIN termination. What's the difference? I'm guessing the 5 pin DIN to 2x RCA is for connecting a Naim source to a non Naim amplifier and the 2x RCA to 5pin DIN for connecting a non Naim source to a Naim amplifier. Is that correct? I'll be using it for connecting a non Naim source to a SuperNait 2 but the one I'm looking at has a 5 pin DIN to 2x RCA termination so it's probably not the right termination?

One of my friends had a DIN to WBT RCA Hi-Line that had resistors inside it from the factory, as far as he knew. What would the purpose for that have been?

Yes, Drikus, that’s correct. No the one you want is the opposite, RCA to DIN.

There looks to be a grey ring on the end of the DIN decoupler of the one in the picture so that would be the source end.
