I use a Quad 909 in one of my systems on occasion. The amp sounds terrible via the Quadlink cable (it is edgy and harsh). I use the RCA input jacks instead and the improvement is dramatic (no more edge or harshness). The 909 is a very nice amp via the RCA inputs--a bit weak in the bass but an almost tube-like liquidity in the mids and treble.
During a discussion with a Quad representative, even he was willing to admit the sound through the Quadlink connection was sonically compromised.
I do not see a need to perform surgery when it sounds so nice if you skip the Quadlink connection.
