Buy a suitable xlr plug .......£2
buy an rca phono socket ....£2
some wire ...£0
mate the two ! [could use a short cable but the ones I've made the rca shaft fits snuggly in the xlr body.
connect pins 1 and 3 in the xlr tp rca ground and pin two to signal.
you will find this a very acceptable solution [I have].

It seems the '2496 does not think much of the puny levels offered by SPDIF
Hi,
there is a difference in signal level between SPdif and AES of about 12 to 14db. There is also the difference in impedance of 75ohm to 110ohm.
I think strapping the DCX input cold pin to ground forces the input stage to double gain. That leaves just 6 to 8db signal level and a small gain due to impedance mismatch.
44kHz sampling may be ok with the impedance mismatch but any higher may have reflection problems causing signal misreads.
However, IT IS WORTH TRYING the cheap way. It may work.

as with the other behringer 2496 components
Doesn't apply to a transformer coupled digital signal.
