Can I use a plain ol' XLR cable to connect the AES/EBU digital out on my CD/DVD player to the AES/EBU digital in on my pre-pro? Or should I spend the money for a specific AES/EBU digital XLR cable?
thanks!
thanks!

It will work but the cable discussion is a rathole. If you already have a cable then use it and see how it works... -
Actually, the impedance is different. There is specific cable made for AES/EBU. It is NOT 75 ohm.
I happen to have a little of it on hand I "think". I'd have to put a locator on it. (scrounge)
Let me know if your interested in one.
I used to have it on site, but had such little call for it, it eventually fell out of vogue.
I'll make you a decent deal on it, if you want one.

Lex is on the money- AES/EBU characteristic impedance is 110 ohms. It's important because of the bandwidth requirements and need to use a source and terminating impedance that matches to avoid ringing and signal jitter.the AudioWorx

I am trying to hook up Motorola digital cable box DCT2500 to my Marantz SR8300 receiver. I connected digital out of the DCT2500 (did not have optical out) to the digital in of the Marantz and it plays fine.

Has anyone here had any experience using the digital outputs of this receiver? The manual states any digital input selected will be outputted on both coax and toslink output connections. I am assuming this is a full strength non-attenuated signal?
