Why are there so few BNC cables to choose from

And is there a big difference between them?

 I need a BNC cable from my external dac to my intetgrated to bypass the internal dac. There are some high dollar cables out there, but are they that much better than the commercial grade cables I used when I did productions back in the day?  Currently I’m using an AQ, rca digital cable with BNC adapters, but I’m told the adapters mess with the highs and that I need to ditch them.

Over the holidays I chatted with someone at Morrow Audio about BNC cables and they told me to go to Amazon!

Thank you and Happy new year 🎊

A Belden 4794R SDI 12G from Blue Jeans cables did a fine job in my system, better some HiFi aimed digital interconnects I tried and it’s not too pricy. Pay attention to the minimum bend radius though and it’s quite stiff. They’ve since added some thinner versions to the list.

Hey all,

I never said I couldn’t find any BNC cables. I asked two questions. Why don’t more high end cable companies sell them and with Morrow Audio telling me to go to Amazon, I was asking how much difference was there between “High End” BNC cables and the ones I have from a production I did?

If memory serves, they all came from Sweetwater.

Thanks.
