I knew this question posed a condition that was a niche within a niche. Got my nerve up to try it again. Worst thing I could do was ruin another $20 connector. This time with some magnification and some good advice my soldering succeeded. And while I can’t be sure of the 110 ohm spec being maintained, I can say this is the best digital transport method I’ve ever used. I highly recommend trying the aes/ebu digital interface on any component that has it. Just make sure to use a good 110 ohm cable. Ideally 1.5 m long but by all means not less than that. In my case using Mogami 3173 cable
Can a Mini-XLR digital cable be true 110 ohm?
I recently purchased a DAP that has a Mini-XLR output option. To use it I would need a cable that has a Mini-XLR female connector on one end and a standard XLR male on the other end. When I look at that mini connector, the tubes/pins that pass the current are microscopic. As are the solder tabs for them. I've already destroyed one connector trying to solder to those tiny tabs. Before I keep trying to get this completed, I'd like to make sure it will maintain the correct electrical properties of the Mogami 110 ohm cable that I am using. Can anyone tell me? Thanks in advance
