SSP Digital versus Analog inputs

Well, if you had a Cal Labs CL-5 cd player which does not have a digital out, then those analog inputs would come in pretty handy.

Actually my processor and CD player were both made in the USA coutesy of California Audio Labs. The Cal Processor (SSP 2500) does have 24 bit 96kHz Dual Colinear DAC's as well as analog inputs. My assumption is that the analog inputs in the processor are for input from turntables. Conversely I assume the analog outs would be what I would utilize if I were able to integrate a pre-amp in between the processor and the amplifier.

Um, well some processors actually have a DAC or digital to analogue convertor, and some don't. If the DAC in your pre-amp sounds better use the DIGITAL out, a single (RCA) use 75ohm cable and put it direct into your per-amps digital input.

If there are (2) RCA's they are probably suggesting a digital source via it's analogue outputs.

So-- Which esteemed product from Japan do you own?
