Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC

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

I thought it was a rug before….see the water bowl now 🙃

Check out Black Cat bnc -> rca adapters. A bit pricey but excellent quality.

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)...

@carlsbad2

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.

@mitch2

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.

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!

@marco1 , @mitch2

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!

Both the DAC and the Cardas adapter arrived today.

I was excited to hook up everything, only to quickly realize the Cardas adapter is way too big for the RCA input on back of the DAC.  

Given the cost of audio gear and what a pain it can be to assemble good-sounding systems, you'd think the least manufacturers could do would be to standardize these connections.  Apparently that's asking too much.
