AES/EBU, Digital or Coaxial Between Transport-DAC

I use both connections with the Bryston BDP-1 and BDA-1 combo.
I've found some music to sound better resolved when using the SPDIF connection (acoustic guitar for instance) and others using the AES/EBU connection. 85% of the time I find my preference to be the AES/EBU. Just an overall more musical sound.

Ryder...

The unit you are talking about is the Klimax DS.... and there is not a CD player on the planet that will compete with it. However, the Akurate DS is about &8k new, I paid under $6k as a demo unit.

And even the entry level DS units will trash many CD players at the $10k price point. Once you take away the CD player itself, your eyes will be opened to a new level of sound.

Also Ryder...

Get rid of the BPT, a Running Springs conditioner sounds MUCH better. And the most entry level LINN DS will seriously lay waste to that Krell CD player - it will not even be close.
