A:Answer Yes, the optical digital output is fully digital. I don't know whether coaxial outputs are fully digital or not, for I'm not very familiar with them, but I can tell you that they're included as well. Traditional analog outputs (L, R) also are available. Both digital and analog outputs can be used simultaneously if needed. I mention this because I do use both. I have a high quality audio CD recorder which captures the most accurate signal from a digital source, via optical digital connection. However, for listening, my system includes a tone processor which uses analog connections. // This is a great CD player. Even with critical listening, I don't imagine you will be disappointed with this Onkyo.
