Coax to BNC connection for digital
I still can't believe that in my mind I replaced the AES outlet available on the DAC with a BNC one. AT 70 I feel I am in good physical shape, however my mind may not be keeping up.  After some exploration I believe I am best off looking for a str... 
Coax to BNC connection for digital
Thanks again Al for your help! That said, I am embarrassed in that I was mistaken about the additional input being BNC when in fact it is AES. My only excuse for my confusion is that I haven't received the DAC yet, a poor platform indeed. So I now... 
Coax to BNC connection for digital
As an additional thought, I could use a coax output from DVD player with RCA cable and a RCA/BNC adapter as opposed to a toslink cable. Thoughts anyone? 
Trust Schiit Loki
Lowrider, I own a Loki. PM me. 
Are there very good/audiophile blu-ray players?
Helomech, the Yamaha BD-A1060 sounds like a great piece at that price.  
Comparable quality integrated Amplifier.
I hope you enjoy your new integrated. I once owned the Vincent SV-226MK and wish I never sold it. Please let us know what you think once you have spent some time with it.Happy New Year! 
Coax to BNC connection for digital
Thanks Al. The DAC I have purchased, however have not yet received, is the Mirror Audio Tubadour III. It has a BNC input along with USB, toslink, and coax. Currently the coax will serve my CD transport, toslink my DVD player, and thinking if I get... 
Headphone amp as pre amp
The Felixaudio headphone amp sure looks like a fine product. Have no experience with it. Only drawback I can see is that it only has a single input. On the web site you provided I did not find what the output impedance was, which would help in mat... 
Any experience using a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet
Nmmusicman, thanks for your response. Yes that is the way I intend to use it. I am currently trying it out in front of a Emotiva cmX2 which my DAC and Transport will be plugged into. The UO is plugged, via a quality power cord, into a duplex outle...

Coax to BNC connection for digital
Thanks all for the this information. You have answered mine main concerns, regarding having a cable made, if there were adapters, and the issue as to 50 vs. 75 ohms service. I do have 75 ohm RCA cables and will will most likely look for an adapter... 
CD Player vs. music streaming
I would do both, run into the same DAC.  Given your budget, there are several cd or streamer transports (lacking DACs) available. 
Beginner audiophile pre-amp/receiver recommendations
My Jolida Fusion pre comes with 3 variable outputs, 2 RCA and 1 XLR. It driving your Krell via XLR and a cheaper amp with RCA input for the 2nd zone would work. I am sure there are other preamps that have this flexibility. 
Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup?
George, that was my thinking though I wasn't nearly so succinct. One positive is that these figures are not in the bass region.Also the system is to be placed in a small room.I do like the Vincent amps at the OPs budget. The SV-237MK is rated at 1... 
Best used DAC under $750.
IF needing USB you will want to use a USB/SPDIF converter with either the aforementioned PS Audio DL III or my suggestion, the Bryston BDA-1.  The going used rate for the PS Audio is $300-350 or for the Bryston BDA-1 is $600-800. I have owned both...
