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:
For Dolby/dts either coaxial or optical will work fine. I prefer coaxial, some prefer optical. A "good" coaxial cable costs less, usually, than an equally good optical cable. Frankly, for movie sound, use whicever is more convenient for you, I wouldn't sweat it. For music from a CD in your DVDP, that's tougher, you'll have to use your ears, and you may not hear a difference between the optical or coaxial cables you choose. And even try the analog outputs from your players, you might like that better (for stereo CD play).For playing a DVD-A, you'll need to use (up to 6) analog cables to your receiver, that's the only way to use the DVD-A output, it is not available in digital format.
Follow Ups:
Excuse my general ignorance re the DVD-A. I have never actually played one, but will as soon as I find one I want to hear... DVD-A *does* put out a digital signal. I don't know why I said it doesn't, or what I was thinking, when I said you *have* to use analog cables, because you don't. But you can use them if you want. Sorry.
Although there is a digital signal out of the optical or coax output, it is at 96khz/24bit. The internal DAC is 128Khz/24bit. Therefore, if you want a better resolution signal for your DVD-A, you'll want to use the internal decoder and feed it to your amp. Optical or Coax is fine for standard DVDs.
