Newbie question - is there a recommended way to connect a dedicated CD player to a receiver? 3 options are available - optical, coaxial and the red/white (RCA?) connection.
I am now using a coax cable. Is the RCA the better option? If so, we're not talking about the free/cheap ones which come with the player, right?
Hi Sir,
There is no general rule as to how you would want to connect your CD player to your reciever.
People would often try all options, and you should too, then listen for best sound that suits your taste then stick with it.
As for the cable, that would depend on you and budget. Do you believe in cables that do change the sound?
If you do, then get the best cable you can buy and you should be happy.
But becareful when it comes to branded and pricy cables, its not the brand or the type of connection that you use, its the synergy of you whole system. and how you or your ears react to the quality of sound being produced by your system.
