It’s something to consider if you have a player that’s working well but you want to improve the sound. This allows the player to be connected to an outboard digital-to-analogue converter (DAC). The other very handy facility you should consider using is an optical or coaxial digital output. In most cases – outside of higher-end products – we’ve found the single-ended approach to perform better, with the balanced option generally just sounding louder. Unfortunately, the only way to tell is to try it. It all depends on how well the balanced circuitry has been designed in both the source and amplifier. These can give better sound quality, but not always. Most machines have standard phono sockets for their analogue output, but some also have the option of balanced XLRs. Or more, naturally, if your system is of the high-end variety. Even a budget player will sound better with some good interconnects, so arrange a demo and budget from around £30 ($50) for a better pair. It's best to consider these hook-ups as no more than a 'get started' measure. Just about every CD player will come with a pair of analogue cables in the box.
Not convinced? A cheap experiment is to put a partially inflated bicycle inner tube under the player and listen for any difference. While CD players don't show up the effects of vibrations as obviously as, say, turntables, simple things like footfall or even the sound from your speakers, especially at loud volumes, can make the player's data-reading mechanisms work harder, which can affect the sound. The perfect platform will be rigid, level and low-resonance. Ideally, this would be in the form of an equipment rack.

First things first: make sure you install your player on a proper support to minimise the amount of vibration it has to cope with.
