    CD Player Optical or Analogue Connection ->1068

    Bit new to AV amps. Currently connecting my CD player to 1068 with phono cables. If I switch to an optical cable will I get a better sound (ditto for DVD player).

    Yes or No!

    Depends on the quality of DAC's in the CD player Try both and see what sounds better

    For DVD's you're best off using the digital connection for DTS/Dolby Digital and your 1068's likely much more advanced bass and delay management.

      New DVD player - connection opinions needed
      by rotel&energy
      I'm looking at picking up a Pioneer DV578A-S. It is cheap, at $130.00 online, but it also plays SACDs and DVD-As. I'm starting to get into multi-channel music and I thought this would be a cheap way to improve my old, non-progressive scan DVD player and get decent SACD/DVDA playback. You can give...
