@stuartk great news! Hopefully the DAC meets your expectations!
Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC
OK, I’m sure this will "engender" jokes but I still need some help. I have a digital Coax cable with BNC connectors on both ends. I’m buying a DAC that only has an RCA Coax input, so I need an adapter to, in effect, convert one end of the BNC cable into an RCA. What is this sort of adapter called, exactly? "Female BNC to Male RCA" ?
... and, can anyone recommend a brand/model, send me a link???

@stuartk - I am glad you got it to work. Enjoy the DAC. I am surprised more equipment manufacturers do not use BNC connectors for digital cables. To me, they seem to make a better connection than RCA. |
I've been told both: that an adapter is bad and that it makes no difference. I'm getting a different one in a few days. It will be interesting to hear if they sound different. I'm not fundamentally opposed to getting my cable reterminated, BTW, if I decide to keep the dac. Thanks. We'll see. You could be right. I've never done a comparison.

@stuartk , I am certainly no expert on the subject. There may be variables involved that have an effect on how one feels about it.. I remember when my old Canare RCA to BNC cable started acting up I was feeling pretty proud of myself for knowing where I had put the adapter that the manufacturer of my DAC had provided. I really wanted it to sound good, but it didn't, so that is why I wound up biting the bullet and buying another cable. I suppose this may be one of those YMMV things. |
