Thanks for the quick replies. Unfortunately, I brought the digital coaxial cord already $25 and the player is over 5 feet away from my unit, so buying a good quality RCA cable simply for a sound check will cost me.

Let me ask you two another question. The denon uses the Burr-Brown 20-Bit D/A Converters (PCM-1748), while the 950 uses Cirrus CS 4396. What Dac do you feel is better? Thanks.
