Harper-"The only reason why a digital connection would be better than analog is if the DAC's in the pre/pro/receiver are superior that those in the player and for convenience (less wires). Plus, the jury is still out on what connection is going to be fully implemented, so you may be buying something you do not need."

Ummmm, perhaps you have forgotten about two things i like to call Dolby Digital and DTS. Seems to me that they are not output in the analog form by any dvd player. Also seems strange that fiber optic and digital coax are so prevelant for digital connections if they are not "fully implemented yet". Surely you know that dvd players output encoded bitstreams of Dolby Digital and DTS via digital coax or fiber optic cables, and seeing as every one of them does it in either of those ways id say that the digital connection is pretty fully implemented.

Digital signal transmission has more advantages than that, but im trying to slow it down and keep it simple to understand for you.

I think harper's second sentence was directed more at DVD-Audio and SACD.

you never know these days...

I'll be more specific. Multichannel digital outs like 1394 and Denon link for multichannel audio (SACD/DVD-Audio). You keep referring to all the features receivers have than pre/pro's so surely this is one of those features.

This is one of those comments that makes people question your rationality. It's an audio forum dude...keep it in perspective.

if you would have further scoured my posting records you would have run across my comments about such things as 1394. also you would have found out that i dont do multichannel audio (sacd or dvda), so it is not a feature i desired. again not looking at the whole picture. dont make jokes about fishing (if that was a joke indeed).
