 Well, I would have to disagree a bit. I would say: forget about the specs, try yourself using A/B testing and use the configuration you like best. Specifications alone are nice but should not decide for you.
In this case, doing A/B testing is really easy:
1) Connect your CD player to your processor using the analog, coax and fibre cables
2) Play a song that you know well and use to evaluate your system
3) On your processor, switch between the 3 inputs to hear the differences between the 3 options. Try to find some places in the song(s) where you can easily find differences.
Of course, you don't need to stop playing your CD every time you switch.
Good luck! |
That is exactly the way how I found out that the analog connection produced better sound over the digital (optical) connection.
Still have to do the optical vs digital coax comparison though. Some claim to hear a difference (!) between the two digital connection types. I am just curious ....
Next step will be trying to hear the difference between low and high end digital connection... where will all this end ...
