An AES/EBU cable is spec'd at 110 ohms, a regular cable with XLR ends may or may not have that spec. You can still use any XLR cable, but it will not provide an optimal transfer of digital data.
Is AES/EBU the same as XLR?
I was curious to know if I can use the same analog XLR cables that I currently use between my cd player and preamp for the connection between my digital AES/EBU output on my cd player to my DAC.
Are they the same cable? If not, what is the difference? The connections look identical to me.
Thank you.
