Hello,
I'm interested in the hifiberry digi+ but I need the BNC connector instead of the RCA one. Although probably the box won't fit, i will DIY one. I just need to know if it's possible to remove the RCA and solder a BNC one and if possible what are the dimensions and space between the holes in the PCB. Will this one fit and work? http://www.partsconnexion.com/prod_pdf/vampire_56013.pdf

  BNC connectors are much bigger than the existing RCA jack. You won't be able to mount a BNC jack onto the PCB. You need to connect it externally via cables.

  And is it possible to change to connector? I have a spare Vampire RCA that I can use. The same from this photo: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzIyWDEyMjI=/z/8PEAAOSwd0BVrpds/$_35.JPG
  
  But normally rica don't have that extra ground pine that these have. Does the PCB have the ground hole (Couldn't find any photo of the bottom of the pcb to see)
  
  Thanks

  No, this connector won't fit onto the board.

  You can always desolder ToS and Phono connectors and then use thin sheilded wires (keep them short) from original Phono connector to the RCA.
  
  I have moved Phono connection in my HiFiBerry to new location.

  why not just use an RCA to BNC convertor?
