In Reply to: What is the Best Way to Connect DVD-A to Receiver, Toslink, Coaxial, Other? posted by 2x6spds on August 20, 2002 at 09:00:54:
If you are listening to the true DVD-A track you have no choice but to use the analog 5.1 outputs. At least until the powers that be decide it is ok to have digital output. This has to do with copy protection and industry paranoia, I think.If you are listening to the DD or DTS track then the answer is the same as with a CD player. Namely, often will make no audible difference but beyond that it depends on the specific hardware you have. Sometimes, the player has the better DAC and analog circuits, sometimes the AVP/prepro does. There is a huge, vituperous debate about whether one type of cable per se is better. I offer no opinion in that regard but again point out that specific gear may hadndle those sources better or worse on a case by case difference. So my advice is try each alternative. If one sounds better use it. If they sound the same choose the most convenient/cheapest.
Caveat: bass management can get pretty confusing and the settings that work in one mode may not be right in another. I found this can be really frustrating when both the plaer and AVR have their own ideas about how base should be routed.
