AES/EBU works at 110 ohms, S/PDIF works at 75 ohms. The impedance mismatch will still allow a signal to get through, but it is not optimized. There are format converters boxes that will properly do the conversion.
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
