What amp is it? If all you have is RCA outputs on the amp, and you want to use this amp, then the best way is of necessity RCAs. What other choice is there?

well trevor,
you've got your RCA's, your digital coaxials (PCM bitstream),
your digital optical CD outputs, digital DVD/LD coaxial, various
S-Video, FM coaxials, component, HDMI, RS, outs, preouts,
TV/ DBS digital, and don't forget serial pins. :(

but the amp i use now does not have most of these things,
just RCA mostly. i was wondering if any of those things would
come in handy though?

'Digital coaxial', which is S/PDIF over copper, and 'optical CD', which is S/PDIF over optical, and sometimes also called 'Toslink', can come in handy if you have an interface or card that will accept them. S-Video, component, HDMI, DBS digital, are all video formats, not audio formats, and won't do any good.

I have no idea what DVD/LD, FM coaxial, or RS are.

thanks....
