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.

SPDIF is 75 ohms, AES/EBU is 110 ohms - which is what Rotarius was saying in the first post

Wikipedia sez that SPDIF is "essentially" a consumer version of AES using consumer connectors - but AES 110/XLR is balanced (why it is used in pro installations) whereas SPDIF is single ended (why you find it on a consumer unit).

As I understand SPDIF was developed by the Sony CD consortium as a tool for testing - it would make sense that they were familiar with and used part or all of the AES (Audio Engineering Society) standard.

So the conversion may or may not be complex - best bet is to call Behringer

Thnx for the thread - I read the article and it still escapes me how they are EQing before the bits are decoded

No doubt however that good EQ is a wonderful thing

Your best bet is to get a convertor box which fully converts from one format to another. Something like this from Hosa..
