music from av system

[admin_exported]

Hi i have a Pioneer DV-868AVi linked to a Pioneer VSX AX5i through a QED fire wire. At the time of release fire wire was considered the best form of digital interconnection prior to HDMi being release. I would like to know if it would make a difference to the music if i ran a pair of phono cables into the cd port on the amp as music is still analog and i listen to music in stereo only, not a great fan of surround music, just love movies in surround.

I know that a dedicated CD player would still be better but i can't keep adding to my stack of amp, dvd, sky, ps3. any points would be very much appreciated, thanks Geoff.

im very new to this but my mate had a simliar problem and he got rid of his ps3 and dvd player bought a £800 denon blu ray transport and the cd's sounded ace dvd were good and blu ray's are far better then my ps3 for sound but its all money money money. if u play games on your ps3 then thats not worth it but we have both switched to 360 far better online gameplay and feautures but each to there own all the best

i do play games and i'm not disapointed with my PS3, a lot of my friends have PS3 so we like on line gaming. Just wondering wether phono leads would be better for music reproduction over the fire wire connection, as a good offer for some reference phonos just came up but i don't want to purchase them if the fire wire lead is better reproduction. cheers for responce.

I have an 868 and can tell you the audio is cr*p compared to later models. Youd be better selling it on ebay and buying a Pioneer LX50 or suchlike (FAR better audio ~ and yes, that includes the fact you cant use a firewire with it)
