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.
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???

@retiredaudioguy - Damn huskies, ya never know what they are up to |
Wow-- sorry for my inattention. I had no idea so many had responded. I hope you’ll forgive me not responding to every response, individually. I received pneumonia and shingles shots yesterday and am not "feeling up to par" (my hair’s no longer long, so cutting it is a moot point)... Yes -- I inadvertently damaged it. The transport is really heavy and I’d prefer to not ship it from N. CA to Texas for repair. The fact that the DAC doesn’t have a bnc input is more the issue, in this case. Good to know! I actually just bought the DAC (largely on the basis of your "6 DACs" thread, BTW). Hawthorne said they’d ship me an adapter for no charge. Don’t know what brand. I didn’t ask. I haven’t received the dac, yet. @audphile1 , @steakster , @jeffbij Well, for my budget, my $1700 Synergistic research bnc cable does qualify as "fancy". It might not for others, here. Thanks for the warning about the 75 ohm rating, @audphile1 . I could get it reterminated I guess. I’ll contact Synergistic. I bet it won’t be cheap! I’d rather not sell it and take a loss. It’s the most expensive cable I’ve bought, so far. Had fully intended to buy Black Cat but The Cable Co. no longer carries them and the Black Cat website lists a price of $165! Thanks for the compliments. It’s not actually "the real deal" - we couldn’t afford to slather the walls with vertical grain Doug fir or have any fancy wood joinery. But it’s close enough for us. Dog was a Malamute/Husky/Wolf hybrid -- one of two sisters we adopted. Yes; those dogs are very appealing, as long as they are contained. They love to go under/over fences and roam! Our last two have been Pyr crosses. Also lovely dogs. Thanks to all for your comments! |
