His view was that RCA-AES is fractionally better, he said it did not matter if you used a 75 of 100 ohm cable, but if you want to use the theoretical optimum solution then go with a cable with a 75 / 110 ohm transformer. The only cable I know that fits this description is the offering form Audioprana, which is about 300 euros or so, depending on spec. Recommended!

AQ Diamond coax is RCA-RCA, I didn't realise at the time you could use RCA-AES until I read in another thread on here, would be interesting to do a comparison, but RCA-AES is a special order for an Audioquest Diamond, not sure I want to outlay the money to answer the question!
You will be surprised at how much better the RCA/AES connection is than RCA/RCA.
