its your choice mate, chris recommends an external dac just like everybody on this forum proberly would because of the noisey nature of a imac/pc internal dac. i proberly would get the music hall 25.2 but i wouldnt take my advice as av never heard any of them!! i heard someone say on this forum you ask 4 people a question and you will get 4 different answers!! thats 100% correct!!

110ohm AES/EBU is not a balanced version of sp/dif its the professional version of it, AES/EBU is the balanced version of AES3-Id, they do use bnc connectors and uses the same 75ohm coaxal cable as sp/dif, AES3-Id is the format what can transmit the signal the longest distances. i would say digital audio signals are more important wether they are being carried by unbalanced or balanced cables than analog signals are! but if i had a choice between the two i would still use xlr balanced and any one else should for that matter!! ps.no high end cables needed just a different type!

yep same here, i didnt even no it was us only!!! -
What the bloody hell is he on about!!! its obvious you would use aes/ebu instead of sp/dif, especially if you had a aes dac like you do, and as for letting some tech guy replace the rca jacks with bnc well thats just a stupid idea, anyone would just use the xlr out. the only reason someone would think about doing that is if they had a dac with bnc input only and no xlr, and even worst the mytek96 hasnt even got bnc for an sp/dif!!
