Now that I have a MUX/Buffalo/IVY stack working beautifully i am wondering is it worth the trouble of converting my source to 75 ohm BNC and add a BNC connector to the MUX and make a true 75 ohm cable. I have been doing a lot of reading and it sounds like its worth while for cutting down reflections in the cable. My source has a tranformer and a 75ohm resistor at the output.
Just wanted to ask the experts!

You can get 75-ohm RCA connectors.

Video RGB cable with BNC connectors is 75 ohm. You can buy one (of good quality) and get three 75ohm cables for audio.

...but you don't really need them. Every single piece of consumer equiptment with a coaxial S/PDIF input or output uses a regular old RCA jack. They all work quite well.
