In most installations, you will want to use both the analog and the digital outputs of the CDP-300. Doing so will allow you to take full advantage of high resolution multichannel formats such as DVD-Audio, while also passing the multichannel digital output to your A/V preamplifier when that is more appropriate.

The front left and right channels are supported with both balanced analog outputs on XLR connectors and single-ended analog outputs on RCA connectors.

If your processor has balanced inputs for the front left and right channels, connect these XLR outputs to them using high quality balanced interconnects. Your Classé dealer can provide assistance in selecting appropriate balanced cables for your system.

Balanced audio interconnections were originally developed in the professional audio world, for preserving the delicate nuances of extremely small microphone-level signals. For many years now, they have also been used by performance-oriented consumer companies like Classé to preserve every nuance of the finest audio performances in your collection.

Technically, balanced audio interconnections provide two distinct benefits: they double the signal’s strength as it travels from one component to the next, increasing the potential signal to noise ratio by 6 dB; they also do an excellent job of rejecting noise and interference that might otherwise be picked up between the components, due to either EMI (electromagnetic interference) or RFI (radio frequency interference). In our modern world of wireless telecommunications, there is more potential interference floating around us than ever before—it makes sense to keep it all out of our music and movie soundtracks.
