Do not take my suggestion (as myself have not tried it and do not cause more confusion) but I got recommendation that this could be good.Originally Posted by audionewbi

Anybody have tried this cable as digital coax?
Does it make sense?
Of course, some DIY soldering RCA connectors should be applied.

No idea what I just looked at :-D
You are dealing with a total noob here mate, take it easy on me

No worries, the question was aimed at more experienced engineers or DIY enthusiast.
I am also beginner in some way. So welcome to our club

Just buy a standard RG59U cable, which is designed for 75 Ohm co-ax use. You should find them made up in different lengths over in Amazon Australia or eBay.

Thanks, but anybody any experience in Oscilloscope probe cable for connection between source and DAC?

No, but make sure you don't screw it up with high capacitance phono plugs, of which there are a few out there!
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

Your oscilloscope probe lead will be multi-stranded cable, which is not ideal.

By reading specs of the probe seems that it can handle lots of data through it.
Obviously must try first

I don't understand why you have this idea that you'll need a cable that can handle extra data.
To take your argument to it's conclusion, how much information should an analogue cable be able to cope with? An analogue signal isn't sampled like a digital one - it's the whole thing. So you'd need a really fancy cable to hear an analogue signal, right?
Just get yourself a competent 75 ohm cable & listen to some music!

Yes, I know all this, but obviously some of us are into tweaks, testing, trying. I am naturally curious and so far rule 1+1=2 does not apply in hifi.
It is mostly 1+1= own ears
