Can a CD transport with an AES/EBU output be connected to a CD burner with a RCA S/PDIF input via a XLR to RCA cable? Will the digital singal pass and what would be the resulting sonic degredation? If anyone can settle this argument between myself and a co-worker it would be much appreciated.
Genesis168 did not give the greatest advice here. As noted above, there are significant differences between the two digital specifications. An XLR-RCA adapter is designed for analog conenections, not digital. Just as RCA or XLR analog interconnects should not be used as digital interconnects
