Questions on utilizing optical and rca digital outputs


Also posted at digital section

I am running an Oppo BD 105 as a transport
unfortunately the Oppo only has optical and an rca coaxial digital out


the two dacs I would like to switch between

Audio Research Dac 3 - not as detailed but oh so musical

Conventional 75 ohm coax and  Toslink optical inputs


MHDT Orchid - very detailed and tonally accurate

“BURT”. Digital inouts.   -  75 ohm BNC, usb, rca and.  toslink optical

since the Oppo only outputs optical and an rca digital

would I just be better off swapping out
Digital optical cable between the
Two

or is there an rca optical solution that handles the 75 ohm coaxial connection correctly?
any nice sounding bang for the buck rca  digital cables?

thanks

I’d definitely use RCA and would highly recommend buying a 1m Apogee Wyde Eye digital cable from Amazon for 40 bucks and use that until you find something better. It flies under the radar because it comes from the pro audio world, which is why it’s so affordable, but it delivers. I much prefer it to my highly-regarded Stereovox (now Black Cat) XV2. Best of luck.
