Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

I agree with many of your points--especially what happens behind the back panels.

In my design work, I accept suboptimal connections, including short lengths of hookup wire. as one of Reinhold Niebuhr's "things I cannot change." That said, some DAC makers manage to mount the connector jack directly to the circuit board.

My design goals are:

Minimizing signal degradation by careful attention to the limitation of internal electrical reflections;

Optimization of mechanical resonances; and,

Neutralizing the mechanical stresses that are the unavoidable by-products of any cable-fabrication process.

BTW, I think that the 75-Ohm Canare RCA plug is the pick of the litter, for RCA plugs.

ATB,

John
