RE: output caps for Marantz cd5004

In most commercial equipment, they will use an input coupling cap and an output coupling cap. They have no idea what other equipment will be used with it, so they (correctly) assume that the cap will be needed. However, you don't need two caps in series. So if both pieces of equipment have a cap, its fine to jumper one. You may also want to remove a ground reference resistor, since you wont need two of those either. If you are not very experienced with electronics, just leave them alone, but if you want all of the performance that can be had, its good to go through and optimize.
