Previously used BNC to BNC hookup my TP to my M2Tech Young DAC, sounding better than onboard DAC to me and read in this parish that Sean Adams himself had quoted BNC as best digital connection.
Last part makes sense...given Transporter is "proper" transformer coupled 75 Ohm socket as is the socket on my DAC? Recently heard a coupled glass optical cables in my system, which surprisingly to my ears noticeably improved upon the BNC connection. (Lifatec glass optical and another one....both sounded different) Had tried toslink before with plastic based cables and written it off as subpar, but glass one sound noticeably better to these ears. But Sean had said BNC was a better connection...so that's got thinking about the actual BNC cable I'm using as possibly being a lot be improved upon. Anyone have any thoughts or experience on this? Currently I'm using BlueJeans Belden 1694a coax with Canare 75Ohm BNC connectors...but I'm aware that this is "budget" cable and others from the likes of Black Cat exist. What's got me interested going down this path a looking at other BNC clues as a possible improvement is that I've tried the BlueJeans cable as a normal RCA terminated interconnect and digital cable and found there was lot better sounding out there. Also, I have an Oyaide FTVS-510 silver RCA terminated digital cable hooking up my Oppo bluray to the DAC, which I'm thinking if re terminated with BNC would probably be of better sound quality than the BlueJeans? (though as RCA to RCA Transporter to DAC it is inferior sounding that the BNC hookup...but that's a BNC vs RCA issue) Confusing to tell overall quality improvement of a different BNC hookup without re terminating the cable!! So any experience or comments very welcome. :) As favour, digital "it's only 1's and 0's" Luddites please just sit back and laugh at my silliness, but don't reply. It IS the audiophile section after all!
