My Rotel CD player sounds much better when connected to my 1050 with coaxial as opposed to the rca analog.I guess this is because the D/A converter in the 1050 is better than the D/A converter in the Rotel.Am I right? This is why I am interested in IEEE1394,I believe in the future SACD will sound much better if the player is connected to a reciever with IEEE1394 inputs and high grade D/A converters.The new Pioneer DVP 47ai ELITE has the IEEE1394 output.Can anyone add to this train of thought.
Thanks
