Can a digital cable have different connectors?


I purchased a Chord MScalar to use with my current and future DACs. Unfortunately, the MScalar only has optical and BNC outputs. While this is fine because my current DAC has a BNC input, many other DACs I’m interested in does not.  Seems like SPDIF cables can have different terminations like RCA or BNC.


Can a digital cable work with one end terminated with BNC and the other end another type of connector?

You should look for a BNC only digital cable and then use a BNC-to-RCA adapter for the one end going into an RCA connection.  This actually works out better than if the cable was terminated with an RCA plug.

Get a digital cable that is BNC on one end and RCA on the other.

DH Labs Silversonic makes a good one.

you can also get an RCA/BNC adapter and try it.

no issues at all
