Zaxcom STA042 accept spdif 75 ohm Signal?

Hi All, 

Having read previous entries I understand that the Zaxcom STA042 is actually AES 032 device expecting a 110ohm signal. Does anyone know whether it will work error free with a 75 ohm spdif signal (source here is a sd usbpre2)? 

If a 110 ohm signal is necessary, will a simple Neutrik NADITBNC-MX 75 Ohm BNC F To 110 Ohm XLR M Adapter do the trick, or is an active sdpif-aes adapter necessary?

I called Zaxcom and they did not have any experience with this. 

Thanks

RL

Just the transformer usually is enough, but http://www.rane.com/note149.html
