Hi -
(OK - covered elsewhere, but all a bit disparate/technical for novice - looking for summary of input Q's - therefore hope this is relevant/helpful to others)
I am driving NC 400 via balanced out from DAC.
1; NC400 passive pot wiring; was recommended as in fig A - have been running fine for some years - though would fig B be better?
(I did run S.E. for a while, and I think A is Hypex's recommendation for this...)
2; I'm considering the addition of an external buffer (n.b. have no long runs...) - some say; more dynamics, a bit more warmth, though I understand this is less if at all applicable to NC400 as it has built in input buffer stage. A simple 'KISS' ('keep it simple, stupid'!) or 'ACT' (active!) opinion without the trouble of huge technical explanation would be hugely appreciated.
I understand my Q's are painfully basic, thank you for perseverance!

Yes, thanks - unless i'm missing something a pot recommendation is given for inserting twixt RCA to XLR, though no recommendation XLR-XLR. There is a long article by Bruno Hypex pointed me to, though I simply don't understand what to take away from it!
