If I'm using multichannel analogue outs with the player doing all the decoding, does the amp itself affect sound quality at all.Or does the sound just go straight in and out again?
For example, decoding on the BDP S760, passing through a STRDA 1200ES (via Chord Crimson analogue cables), to KEF 3005SE speakers.
Will the quality of the components in the older amp have any negative bearing on sound quality??
Incidentally, are the Chord Crimson cables good enough for the S760 or would I need an upgrade there?
