Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC

@stuartk   It usually is always better to follow the KISS principal.  (Keep it simple...)

Adapters, while they work, sooner or later can cause problems. The extra connections on the signal path, potentially cheap construction, and potential impedance mismatches with adapters...

So, +1 to carlsbad2 and audphile1, get either a good coax/spidif cable (RCA's) or and AES/EBU.

my 2 cents...

@stuartk Like some others here, for years I’ve used a much cheaper adaptor to the Cardas adaptor you already found with no problems or sonic compromise. Let your brain be your guide, not necessarily what you read. BTW, love your Craftman style home and listening area.

@stuartk - I agree with @marco1 on both the adaptor and "your Craftman style home and listening area."

Back in September in my 6 DAC thread, you commented on our styles being similar.  I do have a few pieces, some old some not so old, but your place is the real deal and the vibe is very cool.  Congrats on maintaining it as the builder intended!  BTW, is that a red husky laying by the doorway?  I have had 6 of them!

The potential problem is characteristic impedance.  Digital signals at at a frequency where impedance mismatches will cause reflections so you may need to try different.

@mitch2 LAYING, really, in public.  I hope he was just lying.

@retiredaudioguy - Damn huskies, ya never know what they are up to
