CD Player Analog(RCA) Out VS Digital(Optical) Out to Receiver with Optical inputs.

Is the difference really that huge - or is it just a matter of which(CD player or Receiver) does the conversion?

Analog out = depend on whatever that does the conversion.

RCA out = your own CD player internal conversion.

Only you can tell

But analog out = RCA out, in my case.

I'm assuming the optical out on my carousel is digital. I just don't have any receiver with optical in - yet. Will have to hit the thrifts, I don't have the funds to buy a new receiver just to hear CD via its optical ins.

Digital out would always be better as one can use better converter to get optical out.

Alright, I'm confused: You guys are talking about optical and digital as if they are two different things. I thought that the optical out on equipped CD players is digital.
