Thanks for your advice,
I've tested my Soniclink interconnects and they're showing 0.4 ohms resistance, can this be right?? I thought my meter may be out so I tested a few differernt value 0.1% welwyns, and it seems it's almost spot on.
What would be the best output resistor now, considering the cable??
Thanks in advance.......

That's not how you measure impedance, you can't measure it with an ohm meter.
The values you agreed on are fine.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to measure impedance. I haven't the equipment to test for these values. I knew the cable would read near zero but checked it anyway.
Thanks to above,
The resistor question is answered, I'll remove 2 of 3 and leave the one 75r.
Now for the cap. What would be a low enough value of DC milivolts on the output to not warrant a cap at all?

Well if whatever you are plugging it into has a cap already then you can leave it off. But if you want to look at safe levels of offset I would say should should be looking for less than 1mV.
Thank you,
It was a while ago when I tested it but I seem to think it was far, far above 1mV. Somewhere in the region of 10 to 20 or even possibly more but I could be wrong. I can't measure it at the moment as it's stripped awaiting some parts to arrive on the slow boat from china.
So little? One of my DACs after removing the output caps has 11 mV and still with my Pioneer integrated amp (which has one decoupling cap in the signal path) it works perfectly fine.
Well that figure was on the assumption that there was no DC blocking in the path. I did say that if his amp had a blocking cap he could remove the source one regardless.
