hi,
im using bnc to bnc digital cable between BDP-1 and my dac, and i was thinking to try AES/EBU, would that make any difference in SQ ?.
 if yes, what is the difference.
thanks.

Due to the connectors used, BNC-BNC is capable of providing a consistent 75 ohm connection.  But since AES/EBU uses XLR connectors, I don't see how it can ever provide a fully consistent 110 ohms like it claims.   So in theory BNC-BNC is the better connection.   Can someone refute this and provide a reliable source?

But I have seen some BDP-1 reviews that say AES sounds better, while other reviews say BNC sounds better.   I noticed that those preferring BNC claimed it sounded more detailed, while those who preferred AES often talked about the smoothness.

Many threads here on AC on this subject. Search them out.They are very informative.

thanx, im using bnc-bnc at the moment and im happy with it, i dont think to change to aes/ebu anymore.
i will look at the AC subject more.
