: : Hi, I'll be purchasing a jukebox-style cd changer soon to hook up to a Kenwood DD receiver, via an optical digital connection. What I want to know is if having the Toslink connection from the changer will automatically give me the benefit of DTS 5.1 CDs or not (or does the changer have to list itself as 'DTS compatible'?). Also, does everyone out there think a cd player's sound is dramatically improved by using the optical output vs. the composite, or only moderately? I ask because one model I'm considering is a well-priced Kenwood 200 changer that has no digital outs. Thanks!!

>I heard that sound quality is improved using digital outputs with a cd player. We may be in the same boat because I too have a Kenwood DD receiver (VR-209) and also looking for a CD changer. I think i saw the well priced 200 changer you are talking about. Is it the CD-224M? That really is a great price and I would get it but it has no digital outs. I have my eye on the Kenwood CD-206 5 disc changer and it has digital outs.
