Question:
Bought a Sony 940 Home MiniDisc player today.
and the guy in the shop told me that it would be better to
use good quality gold end analog phono leads.
rather than use an optical lead
to use as output leads to my amp ?
Didnt sound right.
Anyone back this up or put me straght. please.
errm, yip you're right, but how do you mean to connect to your amp? I assume you mean that it does the processing also.
EDIT: Ignore me, I'm thinking of my set-up. Tell me more about what you have.
Okay a sony 940 Minidisc
and a sony 1070 amp
and acustic research phono leads conecting the minidic out
to the Amp input
But i thought hat the Digital Optical leads produced better, clearer, sound ?
Anyone ?
AFAIK, the digital lead is only any good if you know the DAC process on your amp will be better than the one on the MD. Thats the key factor.
In my case, I have an external DAC to take the digital signal from and then the two analogues from that (IXOS Gamma Auditions) to my amp. Sounds the business.
In your case, the guy is probably right to advise a good pair of analogue leads for connection to the amp, but optical lead from cd for copying (if it has a suitable output).
I did do a test with an optical to my NAD T760 and the sound was marginally poorer than with analogues (md direct to amp), but testing the same optical from md to my dad Sherwood, and the sound was totally flat.
LoL :sad: Im lost :confused:
Sorry, im just not that up to date on these things
So i went out and bought an acustic research optical lead to try it out
So i will make up my own mind on how it sounds
But thanks anyway guys :)
