Hi all
I plan to build a digital cable that has an RCA connector on one end, and a Mini plug on the other.
This will be used to feed a digital signal via the RCA to my jh3a via the mini plug.
I also plan to make a mini to mini for use with the upcoming fiio x3 to feed my 3A digitally (x3 has mini digital out, 3A has mini digital in)
here is a photo of rca to mini digital cable to give you an idea of what i'm talking about.
my questions:
How many wires does this require?
2? 1 signal and one ground?
or if its a stereo connector as above then it uses 3 wires? - Left and right are basically put together on the same signal path, and the 3rd is the ground wire?
Since the wire will be pretty short does it need to be 75 ohm, and shielded, or can i just use standard wire and braid/twist some it together?
thanks
