I have a home theater set up with a Pioneer Elite 45A DVD playes and a Denon 3806 receiver. They are currently connected using a toslink. If I understand correctly what is happening is that the DVD player is sending a digital signal to the receiver and letting the receiver convert it to an analog signal, then sending the analog signal to the speakers. From a pure technical point is it better to let the DVD player convert the signal form digital to analog and send an analog signal to the receiver, or do it as I have it currently set up?
