This is an extract from my post re the 1000 Pro launch at Oxford Audio. The person I was talking to was Devialet's Chief Designer Mathieu Pernot.
Nothing to do with the Pro, but I did ask about the master companion link. Apparently the SPDIF to AES can be utilised with either a 75 or 110 ohm cable, or something in between. At first, I was told 'it makes no difference', apparently because the AES/EBU has an input transformer that makes the input effectively blind to cable impedance, however, apparently a cable with a transformer is theoretically the ideal. (such as the Audioprana?)
