I was just curious if most of you use analog audio cables from your cd player to receiver, or use optical/coax? I have a Sony CDP-C715 5 disk player that I bought back in 1992. It is in like new condition and sounds great.
Today I was going back/forth trying to determine if it was better to use the optical and let the Denon do the processing, or use analog cables. At first I thought I noticed improvements using the analog as the words in songs seemed clearer and there was more seperation among instruments.
Now I'm wondering if it was just my brain playing tricks, as I've gone back and forth, and not sure I can distinguish a difference.
So, if I can't tell with my ears, are there other reasons I should consider one way over the other?
