The Wywires LiteSPD spdif is very good with the octave. It's terminated with RCAs, but they are Xhadows and legitimately 75ohm, so there is no need to modify the unit to take BNC, imo.
Recommended coax cable for Metrum Octave
I'm getting an Octave to go with my SB Touch and need a coax cable to go with it. Since my cabling is Purist Audio, I was thinking PAD Genesis, but Cees at Metrum provided the following "specs" which the Genesis does not fulfill (#2 & 3):
1) 75 Ohms
2) Teflon isolators for shield and center conductor
3) Both core and shield should be copper silver plated
I'm thinking a VH Audio Pulsar Ag would fulfill this. But would appreciate hearing what has worked well for you.
Thank you!
