For CD listening, I'd definitely use a decent set of analogue interconnects. HDMI is for 5 channel. This way you will use the OPPO dac instead of the NADs. Just use the analogue by-pass in the NAD for music.
HDMI vs Digital Optical output for Universal playe
Please forgive the basic nature of the question, I've been out of the audio world for awhile now. I'm hooking up my Exemplar BDP-83 Universal player to my NAD T765 HD receiver. Since I have to hook it up via HDMI cables for the video, which is better quality to listen to CD's-the existing HDMI cable or should I hook it up via Optical digital Out? Any recommendations on a particular cable would be appreciated under $300. Thanks in advance for any help offered...
