This might be a stupid question,,but

The digital connection should be a single coaxial connection, not a pair. You keep mentioning IC's, as in plural and that may be what is confusing folks. Yep a 75ohm digital cable is the ticket. In going from the signal output of your DAC you do want standard Analog IC's (plural, as in a pair of them) to go to your preamp or integrated amp, and not digital IC's.

Marco,sorry for the confusion,as i stated in my question,im using a transport to a Dip to the DAC to preamp, so i have the need for 2 dig cables ,guess i could have worded it better!

Sorry for the confusion guys! Im going from my transport(dig. cable) to a Monarchy Dip(dig. cable)to my dac ,to my preamp(analog cable)Hope that clears it up! Should have known better than start a thread at 4:30am,,,,Thanks,Ray

1.5m is the minimum digital cable (AES and S/PDIF) length that I recommend when using a stock transport. This white paper I authored gives the technical explanation:

And the RIGHT digital cable can make a BIG differnce.
