Alternative 75Ohm plug/jack to WBTNextg. (Off Topic)

Hi all,
I am upgrading my DAC and I like to use a better plug and jack for digital
input than standart rca. I have ordered a Nextgen plug(male) and a
jack(female), but I was strongly disappointed as I receved it. They are
made of a very cheap locking plastic and arn't worth a percent of the
price they cost I think, wich is 45€, so they will go back to the dealer
that's for sure.

What could I use as alternative? I thought about using Neutrik XLR or BNC.
Is this better then rca for this purpose?

greetings Adrian

Hi,
check the input impedance of your digital in. XLR as used by AES/EBU is 110Ohms, BNC as most commonly used in consumer electronics is 75Ohms. Treat yourself to a BNC: these have generally Teflon as insulators and goldplated contacts MINUS the ultrahighendextracost for being licked into shape by virgin fairies in the moonlight.
Regards,
Peter.
