My DVD connects over coax to the receiver ( an Arcam AVR-250 ). The<br>
interference from the other electronics of the fe, which uses the<br>
standard audio out into the aux ports is noticeable, and the quality<br>
relatively poor.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>You don't have anyway of connecting the fe digitally? I'm using one of these:<br><a href="http://www.dse.co.nz/dse.shop/4a77d128028c0a6e273fc0a87f3b06d7/Product/View/XH7847">http://www.dse.co.nz/dse.shop/4a77d128028c0a6e273fc0a87f3b06d7/Product/View/XH7847</a><br>
The S/PDIF outputs work perfectly. It doesn't matter how bad the sound quality of the card is (or what interference it picks up) because it doesn't do any analogue audio processing.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Mind you IIRC that coax cable ( no it's not a Monster! ) cost more than<br>
the whole fe!<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Why so expensive? It sounds like that's a digital connection so the cable quality will have no effect on the sound quality unless it's so bad it's dropping bits. I'm using a cheap composite video cable - it's perfect.<br>
