Difference between USB from computer, and coaxial/optical from CD Player
After comparing my connection of USB from HTPC and CD Player digital output, I was surprised to find the difference - CD digital sounds better than the USB from HTPC. In my mind, there shouldn't be.
The following are my connection:
On HTPC, I play iTune on files Apple Lossless, USB out, to USB in on the A/V Receiver H/K 745.
From CD changer, coaxial cable to coaxial input on the A/V Receiver H/K 745.
In my mind at the input level to the Receiver: usb and coaxial are all digital.
Anyone can help decipher this issue? Propose any settings on my HTPC, which uses XP pro.
