[QUOTE="adam71, post: 2576465, member: 549079"] Whether the audio is coming out of the DVD player in digital or analog it is compressed, PERIOD. The only difference between using analog six channel and optical or coax digital out is the fact that with the six channel out it has already been decoded and converted to analog. Then it gets converted back to digital in the receiver and converted back to analog at the output stages. Over conversion is never a good thing. Rule of thumb is to keep the signal digital as long as possible. Digital cables are FAR less susceptible to RF interference which plagues analog cables. When HD-DVD and Blu-Ray players come down and people with today's receivers want to hook up for DTS-HD, DD True HD or PCM 5.1 they will have NO choice to go this route because I haven't seen any receivers yet that decode any of these new surround formats.
