Does XLR-RCA converter work for digital?

I plan to use the Behringer (EQ) in between my transport and DAC, but it only accepts and output digital XLR while my transport and DAC only accepts coax. Can I just use the normal converter such as Neutrix or Cardas for this digital purpose? All inputs/clarification greatly appreciated.

You need a 110 to 75 Ohm transformer to do it right. Canare makes one, but it is xlr-BNC so you would still need a BNC to RCA adapter.

Wait - the EQ goes between the preamp output and the power amp in - that way one unit can serve all of your needs.

Also - and much more important - there is nothing to EQ between your transport and your DAC - its digital...

Ckorody,

I think the Behringer does have an option to EQ in digital? Got some ideas from this thread

Anyway, from Rotarius's post, it can be inferred that the Coax is 75Ohm and the XLR is 110Ohm? I have a weak technical background.
