Can you not connect the Marantz via analogue, and compare that with your
super sound digital? I don't think you'd expect a difference - never know
though.


Errr..... isn't that exactly what he said he'd done?

David.

From Serge's post:

"My Meridian 206 is being used purely as a transport, feeding SP-DIF
directly into my loudspeakers. The CD63's analogue outputs are going
through an ADC then on to the loudspeakers, so I'm comparing a transport
with a complete unit, redigitised."

So, no.

Oh blimey!. Serge said that his speakers ONLY have digital inputs,

Perhaps I should add my 'speakers are Meridian DSP5000/1500s, so they only
have SP-DIF inputs.

You even included that part in your previous post,so you must have seen it.
It follows, therefore, that an entirely analogue path from CD player to
speakers is not possible. What Serge did was to take the *analogue* output
of the Marantz and reconvert to digital purely in order to get it into his
speakers.

It seems plain enough to me!

David.

Ah yes, fair enough, got it now!
