connection to use between anthemavm20 and cd1

Hello, I will be receiving an anthem cd1 in a few days. I understand this player uses tubes. Please forgive my ignorance but I don't quite understand how the tube works. Is the tube used in the dac for the cd player?
I guess my main question is if I use the digital out connection will I be bypassing the tubes? I'm not sure which is supposed to be better, the bur brown in the avm 20 or the dac in the cd1. Any info or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hey Burnsyl
If you use the digital out, you will bypass the tupe in the CD1. I love the analogue sound of the tube in the CD1, and experimenting with different tubes will yield different results. I cant comment on how good the dac in the Anthem prepro sounds. A comparison of the two would be your best bet. Trust your own ears.
