7.1 channel output vs. Coaxial digital


Any thoughts on connecting my Bluray with discrete 7.1 channel outputs vs connecting via coaxial digital to my Lexicon preamp.
My bias is to keep the signal digital from source to speaker but maybe thats wrong.

Im using my player to do decoding for the true hd dts and then analogue outs to preamp sounds best for me. (elite bdp-05 )

The new true hd sound is amazing when done right.
Always looking for that well engineered soundtrack that takes advantage of the new formats.
Rent Valkyre in bluray and experiment with cables. It's an example of great use of the format, but only in the beginning of the film. The movie begins with an "African front scene" that immediately grabs your attention with great true hd sound. Plane attacks sounds are great. But unfortunately the rest of the movie was filmed first and does not sound as good.
