As I enter a phase of upgrading my equipement, I've got a rather basic question about CD players. Presently I'm running an older Marantz CD player that has no digital out into a Harmon Kardon AVR-230. The HK does have a direct analog bypass mode for 2 channel music (I do a lot more music listening than movie wathcing). When I upgrade my CD player, should I run via a digital connection into the HK and let it do the D->A conversion or should I continue to use the analog connection and analog bypass mode of the HK?
I realize the answer is probably 'whatever sounds best to me,' but I'm looking for a little guidance. Thanks,
Rob
As a side, if I'm also looking to replace my DVD player (3 year old Pioneer Elite Dv-37a (I think)), should I just buy a DVD player that doubles as a CD player? Would that influence which connection (analog vs. digital) that I should consider using?
