using 75ohm cable on a 50Ohm Masterclock?
Or possible to get the Aune in 75Ohm configuration?
Looking at the documentation for the the Aune SC1, it wasn't 100% clear what the impedance of the outputs were. However, there was one spot in the manual that said when connecting the Aune SC1 to the Aune S9C DAC use a 75 Ohm cable. So this would suggest the SC1 is 75 Ohm by default. Aune also makes another clock perhaps a level above the SC1. Confusingly, this model is named S1C (flip "1" and "C"). The advertisement for the S1C says it supports an adaptive impedance so a 50 Ohm or 75 Ohm cable can be used. Perhaps my SC1 clock also supports adaptive impedance but I'm not sure. The ads and the manual don't define this feature so I'm leaning toward no.
I did try the expensive 75 Ohm cable with the filter with sine wave into the 50 Ohm clock input of the DI-24HE. This may have been slightly better than the cheaper 50 Ohm cable but in this application, the 50 Ohm cable will stay. The 75 Ohm cable is about 389 times more costly than the 50 Ohm cable!
One configuration I do want to try is 75 Ohm cable sine wave into the 75 Ohm input of the DI-24HE but this time use the filter (this filter is 50 Ohm). I'm hoping this is just a sideways move because I am trying to sell this cable.
