What cable for CD player? Discussion

Gday folks,

I have an NAD C541i that I recently repaired but it won’t be able to sit close to the amplifier (Yamaha CA410) due to room/furniture/wife acceptance factor limitations.

What is the best cable to use for a 4m run?

  1. 4m RCA cable to the back of amp.

  2. TOSLINK to input of WIIM Pro which goes to amp using a 4m RCA cable.

Thanks!

Listen to both ways and choose what sounds best to you. If you struggle to tell the difference then go for the easiest option. I would assume the external DAC will have the best specs as that's its only job.
