| Am going to get a new DVD player and the one i am looking at has SACD playback- except it sends it through the RCA cables instead of Digital (optical) sdo they do this to prevent copying? or what... I thought I heard that they all do this but it seems strange to get such good sound only to puch it through crappy RCA Anybody???? |
| Actually, from what I've heard, the optical connections tend to induce jitter, which negates most of their advantage. High quality composite connections (vs. component) are arguably better - yes, this means RCA for audio still, as component only makes a difference to video. And digital (in general) better lends itself to copy protection - see all the talk about HD image copy protection and talks with cable companies regarding DVI and HDCP. |
