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.

Thanks Al. The DAC I have purchased, however have not yet received, is the Mirror Audio Tubadour III. It has a BNC input along with USB, toslink, and coax. Currently the coax will serve my CD transport, toslink my DVD player, and thinking if I get a server I will use the BNC. I will verify the impedance for the BNC connection for the DAC and find a impedance matched server, when and if I follow that route. |
