I would try to see if it will work the other way though from >what I've seen of the U50D hookups it sounds like it *may* not work that >way :( well, i've not tried to hook up the CD changer directly to the U50D as yet. Yes, it is a pain, but i still have one pair of RCA's from the hu to xdp, and also another pair for the CD to hu. Won't be hard to make one pair redundant. :) But again, will it make a diff in SQ, if I were to go through the hu, as opposed to the XDP? > Out of curiousity what CD changer was it?

Nah, can't seem to find any digital output changers with unilink controls here (if they exist at all). I'm using the 757MX. It was the cheapest I could find with MP3 and anti skip tech. I decided to do away with the stupid opt cable thing even for the C90, can't seem to find the adapter here easily. > As for the louder output, it may be that the analog output (as well as >the digital output) from the C90 is at a higher level than the old XR-U700 >(which it is--the C90 is 4V, I doubt the U700 was) and that makes a >difference, even with the XDP unit hooked up in the signal path.

Well, i do think the C90 is superior, but according to old mags, the XR-U700 is in fact one of the first 4V preout hu's in the market.
