Recommendations for a good audiophile digital coax (BNC-BNC) 50 ohm cable?


Needed for a connection between DAC and clock. Most good cables out there are 75 ohm, and the 50 ohm coax cables easily available are mainly for video, with clearly poor insulation, cable quality and solidity (albeit very cheap! :-). It is my understanding that using a 75 ohm cable for this connection might be OK for extremely short distance (1-2 ft) but for not recommended for "normal" use (1 m or more). Was wondering if I missed something?

I have the same gear and initially used a $20 2-meter 50 ohm cable I bought somewhere locally, which sounded great (much to my surprise). I could probably have lived with this set up for quite some time.

I ultimately bought the Shunyata Sigma 50 Clock Cable (which is very expensive), and that made a huge difference (much again to my surprise).

I also use the 75 ohm REF 10 output to the Mutec 3+ USB input to use the REF 10 clock as a reference for it to clock my DSD recorder through the 3+ USB at 44.1 (as recommended by Tascam DA-3000) to digitize analog recordings (I use SOtM 75 ohm cables for that purpose).
