Asking this for a buddy who recently bought a new 5400. I understand you can hook this player up to your preamp several different ways. What connection is recognized as optimum/best sounding for this player. Is the best sounding connection different for redbook vs. SACD?
If you want DSD or DSD 5.1, I think you need to use HDMI. I've tried both HDMI and XLR, and decided on HDMI. I really enjoy the DSD 5.1 available with many of my newer SACDs, where surround is used to enhance the sense of hall ambience.
