If I did an Ember tour it would be RCA, XLR and USB. Maybe a giveaway???
I highly recommend Ember XLR. I just upgraded my integrated amp to a Modwright KWH 225i and it gets partially fed by an Okto dac8 Stereo, which has only balanced outputs. So I have Hapa Aero Cu Coax going in to the Okto and Hapa Ember XLR coming out.
Yeah, it works!
The Modwright is an incredibly muscular amp, reminding me of a Krell I had more than 30 years ago, but with more finesse and warmth. The NAD M50.2>Hapa Aero Cu Coax>Okto dac8>Hapa Ember XLR>Modwright KWH225i chain is something forged in heaven. I never knew that detail and accuracy could be so smooth and silky...
