IM building a BO-box for ADI2-pro. It utilizes the DB-9 contact with AES and coax Spdif I/O. Researching this and with the help of others I concluded:
To maintain a 75ohm output from device and through the box would just drain the budget and be totally superfluos.
These are about €8. Perfect pin and coax arrangement for my need. I would buy with solder cups, pricing is same. They also need specially 2.85mm dimensioned 75omh cable which is mostly sold by the roll at €3k for 100m . Buying a few metre is NP.
Now for the issue. Ive been told for a shorther lentgh. Like the usual 1- 2m spdif cable. It doesnt even matter 75ohm or not. So why specify a product for home use when nobody needs it, more than to connect old gear?
A cheap USB cable can send 768khz. If you wire the house with audio cabling you could use network cable and so forth. Coax is just stiff and unagreeable to work with
I really cant see why I would need any coax in my house except for my old DVD player. TV and internet is over optical fiber and I dont have a parabola dish on my roof. Why would someone have RF coax cables exept for legacy? Time to take technology forward?
