If I remember it correctly, the difference between RCA and BNC has something to do with the impedance. BNC is easier to maintain the 75 ohm impedance than RAC.

I might be wrong since it was a long time ago when I was interested making cables.

You remember it correctly, it’s easier to make a true 75 ohm impedance BNC connector than a RCA.

The question is how big of a deal is it for SQ if the connectors would be 77 Ohm instead of 75 for an S/PDIF signal.

Well the real fking question is where does one buy one good aint interested in the theoretical masturbation.

@henkeman: Search/google for Stereovox

I have a HDXV that does a really good job. It's also possible to make Your own. High quality parts are easy to find

I bought a couple of BNC cables from Blue Jeans cable and I am satisfies with them:

Oyaide from Japan makes excellent silver BNC cables. I have one but I am not able to use the actual BNC on one side where I need to use an adaptor to RCA.

Anyone see a silver one for sale.

Thank you all tired of searching google and finding bunch of promoted crap all the time

My u16 has broken I did not get to experience it fully so I continue with my su-1 til reserve is coming but if you tame su1s edges and hardness it is beautiful.

My U16 is broken too. It continually power cycles. I've put in an RMA request with Shenzhen Audio but haven't heard back in almost a week. I don't know if it's due to the Chinese New Year or not, but we'll see. Luckily I paid with PayPal so I have some recourse should I receive no response.

My wont power on. I think so they seem legit. If it broke within 30 days they pay for return shipping

Any idea on how it broke?

Did it happen when you were using the U16 or did it just not turn on when you tried to turn it on?

 

[henkeman]

I turned it on. It lighted up then just went dark and I couldnt get it on again. Checked the fuse toggled the voltage selector etc

That is sad to hear, if u happened to be opening up the unit and trace down the problem, please keep us updated

 

[henkeman]

I opened it up and the power switch is ok with connection through the 4-pin connector to transformer. Shenzen instructed to fix the solder joints near said connector (common problem?). It was not a solution for my u16 though.

Probably a diode is blown somewhere
