RCA Out To AES/EBU In To DAC

Hello everyone,

My digital source has only RCA coaxial out and the DAC has only AES/EBU in. I attempted to use an XLR male to RCA female adapter, and although it works, a "sizzling" interference occurs continuously while the data is being transferred to the DAC. When the data stream is paused, the sizzling sound stops. Any suggestions on how I can solve this problem?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Regards,

Dennis

I appreciate the previous posts. Specificallly, the DAC is the EMM Labs DAC 6, and the digital source is the Squeezebox 3. I could not find any discussion in the EMM Labs manual about this issue. The EMM Labs does have a BNC input connector, but as far as I could determine, this is used for feding an external clock signal to the DAC. Can anyone enlighten me further concerning the DAC 6?
Thanks,
Dennis
