"Oh, never use separate 5.1 cable from your dvd player not only does it limit your format compatibility it also uses the DVD players DA converter and then gets sent through analog inerconnects. Digital is uncuroupted and then converted in the reciever which has a superior DA converter."First, there's no certainty that the DACs in any given receiver are superior to the DACs in any given player. Could go either way depending on the specific choices. How many receivers out there have better DACs than the ones in the Meridian Ref800 or Linn Unidisk 1.1 players?
Second, there is, as yet, no way to get a full-spectrum, multichannel DVD-A output from the digital jack of your player unless you own the afore-mentioned Meridian (or some other player with a proprietary interface). You are stuck with only DD or DTS from that digital jack.
"The diference is unbelievable."
Mebbe. Mebbe not. For DD/DTS, the digital output is probably more effective in many cases. For real DVD-A, a superior format, it simply doesn't work.
