RCA to DIN cable
Posted by: Anavrin on 16 July 2018
Hi Guys
Does anyone know where I could get a decent cable made so I can connect the RCA out from my turntable pre-amp (Rega Fono MM MK3) to the analogue DIN input on my Uniti Star?
This will free up the useful Analoge input for something else of course.

It all depends on price a used Chord Chrysalis or Crimson will cost around £30 whilst a Chord Music a few thousand.
Unless you specify a price it’s hard to give advice and there are many companies selling RCA - DIN so you don’t need to have them made.
Look up Flashback cables for a budget brand new cable.
I would order and stick to the Naim standard Lavender interconnect. Alternatively the Hi-Line. ????

FlasbackSales do a good selection of Naim-style leads and provided me with exactly what you're after. As it was for a TT I wasn't bothered about it being the absolute best cable in the world ever, just that it gave the correct connectivity. About twenty quid, works for me.
At this level I’d get a Chord Clearway. Excellent quality.

Excellent value
I am still puzzled. Why depart from the well optimized and reasonably priced Lavender by default? ????

The Naim RCA to DIN5 interconnect is what I would choose here;

Wonder if this is the same as a Chrysalis or was back then ?
Gotham is another surpricingly good cable, just got one for my Quad 303/pre, really VFM
I have a witch hat RCA- Din which is excellent, all the other recommendations above equally valid at the various price points
Corrected - didn't know a RAC>Din Lavender could be had.
Since we are at it, I have a RCA-to-DIN5 Hi-Line that I have purchased S/H from a dealer in London late last year. I had it on my Hugo to my 252. I was delighted with it. I am convinced it contributed to make the little DAC compete with the.. NDS. ????

+1 for Witch Hat , I’ve got the RCA-DIN now and others in the past . Very sensibly priced . Also have the Naim lavender RCA-DIN which is obviously more than adequate.
I have an excellent RCA / Din from Custom Hi Fi Cables. Runs from my phono stage to my 202. They can make you a cable to whatever length you need.
Well I’ve splashed out on a new cable, Almost!!!
£1.74 for a gold plated 5 pin DIN connector, a quick google to confirm the pin connections and cannibalising a half decent RCA to XLR cable I’ve had in a box in the garage for 5 years.
Sounds better than the cheapo RCA to RCA I was using and I’ve got my Analoge RCA input free again :-)
