A well-off Danish friend recently purchased a Wireworld Gold digital cable to link his media bridge to the DAC.  The cable cost ?425.  It is said to be a 75 ohm cable yet has RCA phono plugs each end as opposed to BNC connectors which I thought was a requirement to maintain the 75 ohm impedance

He had to use RCA connectors since both the DAC and media bridge were equipped with RCA socket

He was using regular Audioquest phono cable before.  He maintains the sound has opened up and has more detail

How much might be his imagination?  I have no idea
