This thread is about digital connections!
Sorry I didn't notice that until now. The answer is the same though, audio manufacturers are comfortable with RCA connectors and they cost less and do the job.
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.
