Which end is which?


Just pick up a used Transparent high performance digital 75ohm cable from 2003

One end is marked red. Are these directional and if so which side does the red plug into.

Transparent cables are typically directional. The red marking usually indicates the destination end, meaning it should be plugged into the component receiving the signal. So, in your case, the red end should go into your DAC or whatever device is receiving the digital signal.

If you want to confirm, Transparent often designed their cables with signal flow in mind, meaning the text on the cable should read left to right in the direction of the signal flow (from the source to the DAC).
