I downloaded the hiFace drivers, now I am add a LEMO 75 ohms input because till today Buffalo II goes with Opus USB receiver + ASRC Metronome, also I'm doing a new digital cable for interface the hiFace with the Buffalo II so one plug with Lemo & the other with RCA 75 ohms Eichmann copper (I have silver but prefer copper).

After all work I will hear & I will let you know how works.

@merlin
I measured Eichmann copper bullets RCA's. They are not 75 Ohm specific impedance, just a little bellow 40 One measured 39.8 and the other 39 Ohms specific impedance. They are useless for SPDIF
Do yourself a favor and use proper 75 Ohm BNC connectors. No RCA is 75 Ohm.

75 Ohm BNC on left and 50 Ohm BNC on right

@lauret

Finally I hear DXD files, DSD files & 24/192 files, you are right to get the full potential of the B II needs to play hi-rez files, but playing red book dosn't do bad only thing is if you are using Foobar 2000 fisrt must be selected 24/96 because if you use 16/44 with dither sounds worse.

@stormsonic

I think that hiFace RCA doesn't have 75 ohms of characteristic impedance, how can you measured the Eichmann?

Just for fun Lemo 75 ohms connectors photo:

measured them with TDR.
No RCA is 75 Ohm, neither that on your pic. I see that from pic, no need to measure

Default Are these BNC 75 ohms?

Are these BNC 75 ohms, left for chassis mount & right for cable mount?

If aren't 75 ohms, where can buy on line & which specific ones that really haves 75 ohms?
