    Anaolog Or Digital

    Hello Everyone,

    Which sounds better with my 1068 & Yamaha's CDC-506 CD player anaolog or optical output?

    I did a test to hear the difference. And they sounded the same. So you audio people out there, which one is better?

      C'mon -- give the kid a break...

      Conventional wisdom suggests the Rotel would have better quality DACs (digital connection), but we all hear differently.

      If you genuinely can't tell the difference, use either.

      But give it a couple evenings of experimenting back and forth... play music with which you're most familiar... you're likely to start discovering some detail and ambience differences.

      Listening to music (and to the equipment as well) is something of a discipline... it requires a little effort... enjoy.

      Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring
      production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.

        "Digital" TVs, deciphering the terms.
        by Dean McManis
        "Digital" is a buzzword today, and it is regularly abused. Most "digital" cable is NOT transferring high definition digital signals, but they are transferring the 480i NTSC analog signals into digital format, so that they can compress them, to get more channels across the line. So...

        Just ordered; should be in by Monday. These are just starting to become available in the US.
