Voila un retour sur les inputs RCA vs XLR plus le nombre d'input: (source What's best forum):

This article makes a very good point- when they started, they connected up multiple sources, using more than one set of RCAs . They thought Humboldt sounded great, but a little unimpressive in the treble such that it fell slightly below reference level. Then they disconnected the others and went to a single pair of RCAs and thought it was the best Integrated they'd ever heard.
My experience is the same- I find that using one single pair of RCAs sounds better than two pairs (no matter WHAT is connected to the second pair) - I don't know why this happens.
Also, I find RCA (or "cinch") connectors are better than XLR.
For me, when two sources are connected (obviously only one is selected) it sounds really really good- when only ONE source is connected: it's magic! Pellucid, accurate, dreamy, relaxing, saturated realistic sound full of unforced detail. Just so good.
I've never heard any 100K amps, but if they are better than Humboldt then they are almost unbelievable!"
