CD players and HDMI


.
If cd player mfgs and 2 channel preamp mfgs offered an HDMI connection from a cd player to a preamp vs using analog interconnects, would that offer a sonic improvement? It seems to have done the trick in home theater......what about in two channel?

Hi!

I have a Compaq 8510w laptop with HDMI output, and a Burmester 061 cd player with a HDMI input. Would it be possible to use the laptop as digital source and connect the laptop to Burmester 061 via a HDMI cable and get good sound?

Another option is ofcourse to use the firewire output and buy an interface to convert to s/pdif. However, the easiest way around this is the HDMI route...

Cheeers and thanks, ToffenG
