A line level (analog) input will usually have two RCA jacks, red and white for left and right. [A phono input may have the same connectors/colors, but should only have a turntable plugged in because it goes through equalization/amplification]
A digital input will only have one RCA jack, and will sometimes be orange. So for digital you need one cable (75 ohm video type, usually has yellow on the plugs), while for analog you need 2 RCA cables. My recommendation for good cheap cables is Blue Jeans. A Ten foot RCA set is $43 (just checked), and that's for the low profile cable that might be easier to run alongside the baseboard. I use their digital cable, which is similar quality and pricing, and figure it's good enough to keep me from wondering what might sound different. link: http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/audio/index.htm -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35074 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
