This isn't about the PRODUCTS you're using, it's about the ignorance you display while using them.

So you spent all this money on another CD player, and it sounds best when hooked up with an optical cable. Guess what...you haven't changed a thing. You're still using the DAC in your receiver.

If you want to test that Pioneer player, HOOK IT UP WITH ANALOG CABLES.
