That is what he was recommending. Using the digital cables which are capable of handling frequencies in the MHz range; makes for very nice analog interconnects. Except for one thing: Digital, and video interconnects are designed for a 75 Ohm impedance match. The sending and receiving jacks on analog audio equipment are not matched, so throwing out that 75 Ohm requirement allows one to change the geometry of the cable, and achieve lower capacitance, which can improve the high-frequency roll-off. Blue Jeans Cables has done just this with their LC-1 cabling.

How is your CD player connected to your receiver? If it is by digital I'd say there is some placebo effect possible. But there can be an improvement from one model to another when using the analog output stage.
