>The only way that you may get an improvement using the optical cable is if the receiver converts the analog signal from the CD in to digital, again, and back to analog. It is a toss-up.Actually, he could also get better sound if the DACs & analog output stage in the receiver are superior to what he has in his CD player. To answer this question, someone would have to know what CD player & receiver you have and have actually heard the combination.
I'd suggest that you try to find a retailer that will either let you borrow a cable for a day or take it back if you don't like it. Then you can try it yourself without any permanent investment.
