[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Transporter as external DAC - which cable?

If I remember correctly, the BNC networks cables are 50ohms, not 75ohms. And the transporter wants 75ohms, I saw in one of the other threads. This difference is enough to degrade signal quality, so a proper 75ohms should be better. -- tomsi42 SB3, Rotel RC-1070/RB-1070, dynaBel Exact, Kimber
