I use the DH labs d750 which is terminated with rca on the transport end and bnc on the dac end. No adapter necessary. It is an excellent cable imho. https://silversonic.com/products/digital-cables/d-750/?_vsrefdom=adwords&gclid=Cj0KCQiA0ZHwBRCRA... |
Blue Jeans Cable offers a couple digital cable options with BNC to RCA terminations... https://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/digital-audio/index.htm |
Thanks all for the this information. You have answered mine main concerns, regarding having a cable made, if there were adapters, and the issue as to 50 vs. 75 ohms service. I do have 75 ohm RCA cables and will will most likely look for an adapter. Given the DAC has BNC, should I purchase a server with BNC output I would then just purchase a BNC cable which I suppose would need be rated for 50ohms. |

BNC outputs, inputs, and cables used in digital audio applications are often 75 ohms, but are 50 ohms in some cases. It would definitely not be good practice to connect a 50 ohm output to a 75 ohm input, or vice versa, although in some circumstances doing so **might** happen to provide reasonably good results.
