Hey all,
I just inherited my dad's Quad CD-P CD player, which has 3 optical inputs as well as 3 coaxial digital inputs.
I'm thinking of using the CD-P as my pre-amp, instead of my Roksan Kandy MkIII. I also inherited a Quad 909 Power Amp, which in my tests have proven to be better than the MkIII alone (not suprising as the MKIII is worth about 1200, and the CDP+AMP is nearly 4K of stuff)
I don't want to spend a fortune, just want a good optical out to feed to the CDP... I'd use the motherboards optical out if somebody tells me it won't have any adverse impact on the sound quality.
What's the cheapest way to go about this?
Regards,
Chris.
I have a 20 ft optic cable I'd use, and not that it's relevant, but my speakers are Acoustic Zen Adagios.
EDIT: I also have a Roku Soundbridge... which has optical out.
