Hi there,
As the title suggests,
To not be so confusing, let me put it as simple as possible.
I wanted to check whether my cd player on laptop with my new foobar and wasapi is better than my 12 year old technics cd player at playing the same cd in SQ terms. i want to play the laptop through the amp, plug the headphones (Grado sr80i) into the amp.
I have a line out jack, simple 3.5mm jack and the other end is phono 2x,

the lineout jack on the laptop is also an optical out if i wish.
Any improvements on this? My amp only accepts phono as its old
I have a technics cd player which has a possibility of optical in, and the amp and the cd player are usually connected by 2x 2x phono interconnect like this one..

In basic terms, which interconnect should i be using from Laptop>amp. or laptop>cdplayer (only optical input)>amp a possibility?
Thanks
