Welcome to the Touch world! You can use any of the outputs and note that they're all on and active simulteneously. So you can actually hook all three up at the same time (if your Marantz has all three input types) and switch your amp's inputs back and forth to see which you prefer. However, many (including me) here would argue that either of the digitals will be the best. But, really, for a relatively small investment in a coax, Toslink/optical, and RCA cable, you can hear and decide for yourself. -- rgro Rg System information ------------------------ Main: PS Audio Quintet > Vortexbox > Touch (wired) via optical > Rega DAC > LFD LE IV Signature amp > VA Mozart Grands > REL Acoustics R305.
