Impedance mis-match?


Given the following component s

V-link USB/spdif converter - spfdif output states 50 ohm impedance
Bifrost DAC - spdif input states 75 ohm impedance

Which cable would be best to connect these components
1. a 50 ohm cable
2. a 75 ohm cable

Would there be any other issues?

Many thanks

If you don't have the means to demo this setup first, I would pass. Most products like this adhere to a 75 ohm standard. I would choose something other than the V-link. Keep in mind, though, I'm not an expert on this. 50 ohms may be fine. I would just err on the side of caution.
