Why aren’t BNC jacks common?

I love BNC terminators, especially with good quality cabling.

From the original post, my comment though is that I am aware of 75 Ω and 50 Ω impedance for BNC (50 Ω normally reserved for clock signals from devices like the Mutec Ref10 Series) for Word Clocks and Master Clocks, whilst the default is usually 75 Ω.

110 Ω is usually reserved for AES/EBU digital cables - another fav of mine.

My T+A DAC 200 has support for these (but no clocking) as do many others like the Holo May KTE.

Then devices like the Hegel Viking CD player also has 75 Ω BNC output.

A special case is the Chord Hugo TT2 / M-scaler which have DUAL BNC for their special upsampling to 768KHz instead of the standard limitations of 384KHz. Won't work with anything else!

I won't delve into any preference for cable brands - there are many and it's really personal preference and of course one's wallet!

I am a career electrophysiologist (neurophysiologist).  BNC cables have been the standard cable in electrophysiology labs since at least the ’70s.  Simply put, they’re reliable, flexible, quiet, easy to make, and inexpensive.  RG58 cable and BNC connectors - done.  

Why aren’t BNC jacks common?

Simply that there is no audio industry standard, and there is no mechanism to create an industry wide standard.

@kennyc I see it as a lack of courage among high end manufacturers of digital gear. They claim to strive for the best and yet incorporating BNC is so insignificant in terms of production costs it becomes inexplicable. 

I do like that my N20 has BNC output; none of my DACs have BNC inputs, however.  Something for me to consider in the next DAC upgrade, or to see if Benjamin at Mojo can retrofit BNC in place of RCA on my new Mystique Z Q…. (Wish I’d thought of that before he built mine.)
