Some adapters are 50 Ohm and Some are 75 Ohm so be aware if you use an adapter, you need a 75 Ohm
I would go with a factory made cable
They make higher grades , this is an example.
Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC
OK, I’m sure this will "engender" jokes but I still need some help. I have a digital Coax cable with BNC connectors on both ends. I’m buying a DAC that only has an RCA Coax input, so I need an adapter to, in effect, convert one end of the BNC cable into an RCA. What is this sort of adapter called, exactly? "Female BNC to Male RCA" ?
... and, can anyone recommend a brand/model, send me a link???
@stuartk confirm the specs on your bnc cable to make sure it is 75ohm before you buy adapters I’d rather use AES from transport to DAC or a proper 75ohm coax cable and not introduce any adapters unless you have a fancy and expensive bnc cable that you can’t part with. I wouldn’t add variables such as adapters to compromise the results. |
As @audphile1 has suggested, and my favorite, is AES if your DAC has an AES input. This comes after trying everything else. |
