Ok, so this Quad has Optical Audio out and in. The receiver/head unit I have hooked up to it currently does not, but I have another (the one attached to my TV) that does, but it's not being used there. I am currently running the Sound out from my Quad via a 1/8 inch headphone adaptor through the Audio Output on the back, to a set of RCA cables and then into the AUX in on the Receiver. the Receiver is driving 2 Bose satellite speakers, 2 Yamaha Bookshelf Speakers (daily use) and a Klipsch Sub-Woofer and Center Channel (for Movies).
If I go through the effort of swapping receivers, both are good quality Kenwoods, what benefits would I gain from the Optical Audio out/in with the Quad? Could I expect significantly better sound output? Since I also have a Turntable and Cassette deck hooked up to the receiver, could I expect significantly better sound for importing Vinyl and Tapes?
Has anyone else here turned to the Optical in/out at all? I just wondering if this is worth the half day of work to swap them around or if I should just forget about it.
