I have both Cambridge CXC V2 and Tascam CD-200. Here are my observations:
1. Optical Toslink sounds OK. But just OK. Don't expect any magic.
2. Coax sounds pretty bad. No resolution. Also distortion which I can't listen for longer time.That is why I put both into storage for more than several years.
After mod:
1. Tascam CD-200. I got the resolution I want. But I need warmth and bass. I know I get the SPDIF polarity reversed. I will try the other way to see if I can get warmth and bass.
2. Cambridge CXC. I got resolution, warmth and bass. However the output is lower than I expected.After mod, in both cases, the distortion is gone.
This is not a fool at all.
