[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 48630, member: 122"] As handsome said, you'll need an SPDif receiver for that to work. Internally the comms are I2S (not SPDif) and you'll have to tap into those lines with your receiver to get it going. That is, if the unit uses I2S. There are some CD Players that use other comms protocols though, but if your CDP has at least a digital output then I'm pretty confident it runs I2S. But, this is a very substantial butchering of your CDP. I would almost suggest that it's not worth it going through the effort using a Medi8ter as a source. These devices will introduce a lot of jitter that kinda negates the performance of your DACs. Why don't you just have the optics sorted? [/QUOTE]
