You can make your own 75 ohm connector with good quality belgin 75 ohm coax and good quality RCA connectors. Most people say the proper length for this is 1.5 meters, but I believe a very short run (e.g. 8 inches) also works well (if your DAC will sit right atop your CD player).
Is 75 ohm coax the same as S/PDIF?
I'm new to digital connections and I'd like to get a DAC to take the digital out of my CD player and eventually from a computer thru USB. So I need to make sure whichever DAC I get can accept the 75 ohm coax out of my CD player. It looks like an RCA, and so does an S/PDIF connector, I believe. Yet I undestand S/PDIF is a protocol...so I'm confused.
Would anyone please clarify?
