Hi all,
I thought this was so simple! optical being digital should be better than analog RCA connector!! Well, seems not to be the case... atleast for stereo listening
My setup is
Rotel RSX-1057
BW 602
REL STROM V
Monster Optical interconnect
Local RCA stereo cable
sony DVD player DVP-NS575
I connected the Optical out of my sony DVD player to 1057 and mapped it to DVD. I also connected the Audio line out RCA of the sony to the CD-in of the 1057. AS I listen to different CDs I switched my 1057 inputs between CD and DVD alternatingly. It was very very clear that the RCA connected CD input had an upper edge in terms of clarity. I thought something was wrong with the DSP setting of CD and DVD, but both were on stereo mode (NO DSP). ACtually the difference was very profound on the highs, the RCA (unbranded from super market) had clean highs compared to the optical. Beats me...
thanks
