It&#8217;s certainly not Bad Naughty Connector!<\/p>\n<p>B actually stands for its bayonet mount locking mechanism, while N and C is taken from Paul Neill and Carl Concelman (inventors of N and C connector respectively), which the BNC connector is pretty much developed from both types. This design was for &#8220;a connector placed on coaxial cables that would minimize wave reflection\/loss.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Designed for multi-MHz range RF frequencies, it usage in audio is limited as analog audio signals is typically specified as 20-20kHz. But if there is a reason to use BNC, it would be at the interface between your CD player and your DAC. This so-called SPDIF (Sony\/Philips Digital Interconnect Format) signal could be as high as 3MHz but bearing in mind that it&#8217;s transmitting square waves, its harmonics is certainly in the tens of MHz range.<\/p>\n<p>So are you thinking what I&#8217;m thinking? MHz range, minimize wave reflection\/loss&#8230; Come on, i would like to think that we all have great minds but looks like you have some catching up to do!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I fitted in a BNC socket for digital input at Monica&#8217;s end&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/diyparadise.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/stories\/img\/bnc_chassis.jpg\" width=\"70%\" \/><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and fitted a BNC plug at one end of Whitesnake.

In Everything. From image definition, placement, soundstaging blah blah blah&#8230; You got to listen to believe this!<\/p>\n<p>Dang. all this while, have been using the &#8220;industry standard &#8211; RCA&#8221; here. But as RCA doesn&#8217;t have the sufficient bandwidth, there is already losses in transmitting SPDIF just for using it. See how dumb all of us have been, part of a dumb herd just following the &#8220;standard&#8221;? Now you don&#8217;t feel like a million bucks don&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the improvement is So Good in fact that ALL Plug n Play Monica3s from me are now fitted with BNC sockets for digital input. That said, a BNC-RCA adaptor is provided for folks who still believe in RCAs.<\/p>\n<p>So Good that\u00a0<a style=\"color: #333333; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/diyparadise.com\/web\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=89&amp;Itemid=5\">Whitesnake!<\/a>\u00a0is now terminated with BNCs at both ends, but BNC-RCA adaptors is provided for folks who live in La La Land, err, I mean folks who still believe in RCAs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You know I have never been a fan of cables but Whitesnake! and BNC termination taught me much here.<\/p>\n<p>I believe you&#8217;ll be enlightened like me too if you just try this!
