I'm sure my Sony JE-520 has an optical input and output, as well as a co-ax
input. The problem is I understand the JE 520 specs vary depending on the
version - I think in NZ we get the UK version - certainly that was the case
with my Sony CDP 930.
I imagine if you want to hear the CD changer through the amp's DAC via the
MD deck you will need have record-pause activated on the MD deck - but I've
never tried it - certainly this is the case when patching another deck
through the analogue in and outputs of the 520.

Subject: MD: Digital CD-MD-Amp passthrough
Hi, I've just joined this list so apologies if this has been asked before,
but I couldn't see a mention in any FAQs or webpages.
I'm thinking about getting an MD-deck, mainly to record CDs to MD. (I
currently use a Discman and an MZ-R55 connected via optical, and have an
MZ-E90 for playback.)
My problem is that my Sony CD megachanger has a pretty bad DAC and sounds
a lot better when connected to my Amp via an optical cable. If I get an MD
deck I want to connect the CD changer to it in the same way to get
digital-quality MD copies, but the changer only has one optical/digital
output.
I guess I need to get an MD deck that has optical input and output and is
able to act as a passthrough so the CD's optical output can reach the amp
via the MD deck.
Does anyone know which MD decks, if any, support this? I have seen one or
two which have optical output as well as input, but the typically sparse
webpages don't say whether the output is only for the MD deck itself or
whather it will relay the optical input to the output when the MD isn't in
use.
Many thanks for any information,
Leo
