Pioneer SC-LX71

For those who use this amp, pls try the coax in for CD play back.  It is the best connection type in my case, even HDMI - PQLS on still can't compare to the co-ax in sound quality. I use BDP-LX71, crystal cable HDMI, Kimber Kable PBJ interconnect and Audioquest Video-Z coax.

SC-LX71同BDP-LX71的chip是一樣的，如果覺得同軸好聽，應該係線材口味問題

I guess for HDMI, it also carried video and there are 1 more step at the amp to separate the video with audio before decoding.  

Quoted elsewhere: "使用類比輸出時，BDP-LX71的增益比較大，聲底也比較厚，因此會有較為雄壯活生的感覺，聲音也更為溫暖。使用HDMI時，則更能凸顯Pioneer系統乾淨清麗的特質，不僅背景更漆黑、細節更豐富，弦樂的質感與光澤都更好，輪廓與線條都更清晰，如果在小系統，這樣的聲音可能會略顯單薄，但若是中、大型系統，音場的規模感會更好，層次感也將更為豐富，定位也會更好，聽感非常輕鬆。 "

coax lies in between.
