wiim pro coax out -> jack-rca cable quality

[grindlock]

Hi
I have a wiim pro.
In order to utilize 192/24, I consider to use coax out to DAC, which is a Chord Mojo.
The coax input is a jack socket on the chord, so I need to use a 3.5 mm jack-rca cable here.
It works with any cheap cable, I tried.

I just wonder if quality of cable really matters here? (ie 50-100 EUR-ish cable is really needed)
It is a digital transmission + 75 Ohm requirement can not be met anyway due to nature of rca-jack connection.

thx

I can't believe the coax output on a WiiM Pro is a 3.5mm socket.

Use a standard 75 Ohm Coax cable and add a RCA to 3.5 adapter on the DAC side. No need for anything expensive.

Wiim Coax Out = RCA socket
Chord Mojo Coax In= 3.5 mm Jack Socket
So Jack-RCA to be used, RCA out from Wiim, Jack in to Chord Mojo.

Ah OK I didn't think anyone would use a 3.5mm socket for Coax. I suppose it takes up less space.

anyone, except chord :-D
