Coax or RCA question?


Hi All,

I just bought the Integra CDC-3.4 6 disc CD player. I have the Marantz AV8802A as my pre/pro. Should I go coax and use the DACS in the Marantz or go RCA and use the DACS in the Integra?

 

Thanks All in advance…

 

Best Regards,

Brian

I would guess the Marantz has a better DAC… so I would start there.  Then after you have a lot of hours of listening switch. 

Thank you @ghdprentice! That was my thought as well but Integra is the higher end of Onkyo. So I wanted to get some opinions/advice from the experts here. The problem is I truly have to turn into a contortionist to make any tweaks in behind my rig. It really sucks so I really try to “get it right first time” LOL! Thanks for taking the time to respond😊!

The Marantz has both digital and analogue inputs so you can use both at the same time and switch on the fly and get direct comparison.
