I actually use a BNC to AES/EBU 75ohm To 110ohm impedance transformer to
connect the hardwired 75ohm cable from my Touch to the AES/EBU input of
my DAC. It sounds better than going from the 75ohm cable to the 50ohm

Its divisible by 64 (like 3200) so the buffer will most likely align

My own particular settings that I've gone backward and forwards on and
I'm happy with (at least for this week) are:
* default logitech priorities
* 4096 buffer
* processes 'watchdog', IRQ-37, IRQ-8 killed on star
