Which Outputs from a CD Player?


Is there any difference in the sound from the Balanced Outputs and Optical and RCA Outputs on your CD Player?

Absolutely! I just posted a question above in this forum about hesitation in upgrading my Primare CD31 due the preference I have for its balanced analog outputs vs the digital.

Although the balanced analog out has a slightly higher noise floor, it's much less analytical and has much, much more bass and mid-bass, which I consider to be a good thing with my Magnepans.

For reference, my primary system components are:
Primare CD31
Peachtree Audio Grand Pre
Bryston 4BSST2
Magnepan 3.6R
