Difference between connecting five pin or RCA to CD player…


So I’ve dug out a very old Naim Nait 5i preamp and want to hook it up to a CD player. I have a 5 pin option or a regular RCA option on the back of the preamp - what is the difference? Don’t have 5 pin cable handy but curious if I’m losing anything without this?

Also, I have a pair of Totem 1 bookshelf speakers that are intended for down the road when I get a Benchmark system…..will the Nait5i drive these without risk of damage?

Thanks spacialking. Maybe it’s my ears, maybe it’s my room or whatever but in the past I’ve bought expensive cables, interconnects etc and honestly I’ve not noticed a difference and I started believing this whole cable thing could be a bit of a placebo but I still have an open mind.
