Line out audio rca connection

[Medicus59]

which high end Audio RCA Cable from line out to KEF LS50 Wireless speakers would be the best recommendation?
My Budget is Limited to 300€!

Don’t waste your money.

LS50 Wireless? Use a digital connection from the WiiM to them, don't go analog.

They are streamers of their own. What do you want to connect to them. The don‘t have RCA inputs anyway, only 3.5mm aux in on the analogue side.

For 300€ I get the ones that are attached to a BK subwoofer. In other words if I had 300€ to improve the sound of my LS50's I get a subwoofer not an expensive pair of interconnects.

@Aquaman - While the KEF LS50 Wireless has its own streaming, it does not have any room correction software and only very basic EQ capabilities.

Using analog connection versus digital connection can be worth a DA/AD conversion versus sample rate conversion listening test.
Analog connection is preferable with speakers that use Hypex FusionAmps. I do not know what’s preferable with these Kefs.
As for line level analogue rca cables I use Cordial CFU from Thomann. Well made no nonsense and priced like cables should.

I want to Connect WiiM Ultra line out with KEF LS 50 Wireless AUX Connection as Output, which are Both RCAs. The toslink opt out Connection is very flat After all EQ settings. I am using a Supra ZAC toslink Cable , the source is Qobuz, so high res.
The direct WIFI Connection to the Wifi Connection of KEF is much better!

I made it with Supra ZAC toslink Cable, but the Audio output was like I put socks over the speakers, although I modified my EQ settings, some members reported about analog Connection, which was better!
PS: my source is Qobuz high res.

Which cables you use (brand, price) is irrelevant.
If you connect the Ultra via analogue to your KEFs chances are high that the signal will be redigitized by the KEFs. That would render absolutely nothing, on the contrary. Either you use a digital connection or scrap the project all together. Just my 2 cents.

Double-DACing must be the new-school substitute for tube distortion.

I‘ve just checked. The connection between the two speakers is a patch cable. This confirms that any incoming analogue signal will undergo an AD conversion.

KEF calls them wireless but to do anything you at minimum need 3 wires (2x power and a patch cable to interconnect the speakers)

The Ethernet cable is actually optional, so you can get away with two cables (and accept a lower bandwidth of the inter-speaker connection).

Not necessarily. Some resampling algorithms sound reminiscent of chalk on blackboard. Pick your poison.

Like rolling the wrong tube.

Dunno. Never been tubing.

I’ve been very pleased with Amazon Basics RCA cables. Connections are nice and snug, cables seem well made to me. But then I’m using inexpensive Wharfedale Pro Active speakers and a Mackie CRX8 Active Sub (which BTW are sounding excellent with the WiiM Ultra). I’ve never been convinced about expensive interconnects, I just can’t hear any benefit. Decent/reasonable quality works for me.
