Question: is trs better than rca?
Answer: 2 Answers. 1/4" TS/TRS is a far superior interconnect than RCA/phono in every way, except size. If you have to choose an output for an instrument, it should be 1/4" if at all possible. 1/4" TS cables are more robust, much more easily repairable, and are used throughout the professional audio industry.
