Are you kidding?Seems weird and have to ask, the one coaxial cable can handle both channels?

You have a right and left channel for RCA cables...no?Are you kidding?
You do need a right and left cable for RCA...no?Coax transports a digital signal containing all informations. Channels will be decoded later at your DAC. Or do you need two WIFI networks to stream stereo songs?
Yes, but this is the OUTput of your DAC. Coax digital signal is INput.You do need a right and left cable for RCA...no?
What's confusing to me is that the coaxial cable of say a TV is threaded ends..but for hifi components looks just like a RCA input/output connection.Yes, but this is the OUTput of your DAC. Coax digital signal is INput.
More precisely: Analogue RCA cables don't have a defined characteristic impedance at all. They are designed for NF signals where the concept of characteristic impedance doesn't apply (but low capacitance and low ohmic resistance are important).In addition, coax cables have an impedance of 75 ohms, RCA cables have an impedance of 50 ohms.
Sound differences between sbdif vs coaxial?More precisely: Analogue RCA cables don't have a defined characteristic impedance at all. They are designed for NF signals where the concept of characteristic impedance doesn't apply (but low capacitance and low ohmic resistance are important).
You need to try by yourself.Sound differences between sbdif vs coaxial?
I don't understand the question. S/PDIF can be transmitted either electrically through coaxial cable with a characteristic impedance of 75 Ohms or optically through glasfibre (commonly referred to as TOSLINK). Coaxial cable is often terminated with RCA plugs, although technically 75 ohm BNC plugs are better.Sound differences between sbdif vs coaxial?
In that case your answer is still the correct one, of course.I think he ment differences between coax vs. optical.
