new cd player
 
hi guys,

I need some advice on the best way to hook up my new cd player. I have
just purchased a NAD 521BEE to replace my old rotel 865, I am running the
NAD through my yamaha DSP A2 and was wondering whether its better to connect
it via the analogue outputs or the digital coax. If I connect via digital
coax am I right in thinking that this will bypass the DAC on the NAD and use
the DAC on the yamaha, if this is the case which has the best DAC?


thanks
Neil.

For stereo audio stick to the DAC in the CD player - you are already
compromised enough with a multi-channel amp.

Could be a new thread here - 2 channel good, multi channel bad?

To make any meaningful contribution to Hi-Fi sound ALL sub woofers should
only ever be used in a room from which every particle of air has been
removed.

Surely the sounds of the two bits of kit is down to more than each of them
simply being of a certain type?

Not a new thread at all. It used to be "back to mono".
