Linking QUAD67 CD Player to Denon S770H

[TLS Guy]

@TLS Guy : Re the physics, I had been under the impression that the feed from the single RCA output had been digital as the installation guide said it was “reserved for future digital use“. Even if it had not yet been converted, the fact that it worked on the amplifier’s digital coaxial input meant that it was using the amp’s DAC rather than it’s own. That it won’t work on my amp because of the lack of a digital input remains. I hope that I will still be able to pass that physics exam as I admit I have forgotten much.

The optical connections are digital. So the output of the Quad at the RCA output is digital ahead of the Quad DAC. Now the converter converts the digital electron stream to an optical photon digital stream. The DAC in your receiver will then convert it to analog. Then you can hear it.
