5 Pin Din - RCA Adaptor

I believe the mayware adaptor is no longer in production. I used to have one between my LP12 Linn silvers and 552, and although it was better to use the DIN adaptor arrangement rather than plug the silvers direct into the 552 RCA sockets, the adaptor does have a far larger bottleneck limitation compared to a good RCA to DIN connector. I'd recommend buying a standard naim audio RCA - DIN if your source has RCA.

Thanks,

I am using standard Naim RCA-DIN cables atm, but I also have previous Cardas Reference cables I cannot use with the 82 so I thought i'd try those with an adaptor. If the adaptor makes a significant bottleneck I will not bother with them.

They are still available on e-B...

CAT, the Milty/Mayware adaptor works fine if you must but much better to avoid and use a proper DIN-RCA interconnect if possible.  If you absolutely must use RCA i/cs then you're better off with the next generation pre-amps such as the NAC282 etc.. The NAC552 even uses those fancy WBT RCA phono sockets, latterly in Next-Gen form.

I would also like to try a RCA to DIN interconnect to go between a Dynavector p75 phono and a nac 282. I'm currently using a MIT RCA to RCA. There doesn't seem a lot of choice - Naim, Chord, Audioquest. Are there any others?

Thank you Richard, if the adaptor works ok I will try it for a third source that is used sparingly.

For analogue from a vinyl source it's hard to beat Naim's own i/c.  Don't judge by looks, listen..

On this topic, would there be any advantage of using an RCA-DIN interconnect (from a Rega Fono MC) into a Naim integrated (e.g. Supernait 2) over an RCA-RCA? The only difference here would be the DIN plug at the amp end, so I'm probably skeptical about any sonic advantages. 

Yes, a DIN at one end is still better than none.

For vinyl, wouldn't Naim's preferred choice be BNC connectors at the preamp ?

Yes, but Clwyd is looking for an i/c between his P75 phono stage and the NAC282.  In this case, an RCA-DIN i/c would be best.

Oh, I see.
The 282 doesn't have BNC terminals at all, unlike my 52, and before that 82 and 72.

There's no internal phono stage option on the 282, hence the lack of BNC connectors.
