I just upgraded from a Oppo 103D to the 105D. I was connecting the 103D via HDMI cable. From the owners manual--
The BDP-105D features a dedicated 2-channel analog output with specially optimized ES9018 DAC and output driving stages. The stereo output offers both XLR balanced and RCA single-ended connectors. The balanced output features a true differential signal path all the way from the DAC to the 3-pin XLR connector. By transmitting a pair of differential signals, the balanced output provides better common-mode noise rejection and improves signal quality.
So should I go the XLR route, What is a affordable cable(Kimber , Audioquest)
Thanks
