Qute to NAP 100 cable?

Posted by: Andy Barratt on 16 October 2015

Bearing in mind any diminished returns from a cable that's wasted on the combo, what would be an appropriate RCA to connect a Qute to a NAP 100?

A Chord Chrysalis or Naim 2 RCA Phono to DIN4.  Anything less would be like spoiling the ship but for a ha'penny worth of tar.

i don't think the NAP 100 accepts a DIN... but you're suggesting a relatively basic cable i think? that's ok!

The NAP100 input is both a 4-pin DIN & x2 RCA's

The NAP 100 has inputs on a pair of RCA Phonos and also a four pin Din socket.

 

I used a four pin Din to four pin Din cable on mine.

I used Chord Co. Cobra Vee 3 RCA interconnects. A good balance of price/performance, and you can get them in 0.5m lengths. Surfaces are still pin bright after 2 and a half years.

I'm running the same combo. I picked up a secondhand van den hul the sea 3T just out of curiosity and found that it gave me more extended lows and highs and slightly more natural dynamic sound over the stock rca-din cable which the dealer had provided.

Overall tonal balance was similar, it just sounds more extended at both extremes. An improvement, but I would like to try Vertere or Wireworld cables if I can find some secondhand.

I used a Qute with a 150X, and was pleased with the results when using a Flashback premiere RCA-DIN. Good value too.
