Back panel
The CD player provides two analogue and two digital outputs to
allow you to choose the highest-quality method of connection to
your system.
The 508 20-Bit CD Player produces an extremely low-noise
low-jitter electrical digital output, and this is the recommended
method of connection to digital equipment.
The following table lists the equipment which uses each of the
four output types:
