Hello Everyone,



I'm at a bit of a loss here. I recently got a Yamaha CD-S700 cd player, and after researching and finding out that the DAC in my amp is better than the CD player's (a burrbrown vs ESS sabre) and liking the sound a tiny bit more, I decided to use a digital connection for it rather then RCA. Then, I researched what's better between optical or coaxial, since I have both options, and apparently it's coaxial.



Now, I do have a 3m Proson (name of brand) Coaxial Digital cable (the manufacturer says it can be used even as regular analog RCA) that costed about 18$, it's shielded, and it seems to work fine, but one of my buddies who's an audio equipment dealer told me that it's no good, and that I need a more expensive one that besides shielding has a "75 ohm resistance both on the wire and on the RCA plugs".



Now, I couldn't find ANY info on whether this cable I'm using has 75ohm resistance or whatever, but i'm just wondering, is there a point in getting a 70$ 3m Coaxial cable over a 17$ one? Is this 75 ohm resistance claim a real thing that is needed for better signal transport?
