Why so few devices with BNC's??


It's an ongoing amazement to me how many manufacturers use RCA's for 75 ohm digital connections.   Is this really to just save a couple bucks?  Lower end McIntosh stuff has RCA's as does most Japanese gear regardless of price.  It's not like BNC's are really so exotic, and 75 ohm cables are readily available.  In fact, the general lack of inputs is an annoyance.  Not everybody wants to use USB or Toslink.  Rant over. 😠  Thanks for reading.

[Please, this is NOT a thread to list all the exceptions.]

I purchased a Chord MScaler to use with my current and future DACs, but Chord’s BNC connection is a pain as many DACs do not support.  If I get a custom cable with BNC only on one end, selling it later may be impossible.
