digital or analog output?

Hi, recently bought a Harman Kardon AVR 8500. It offers a choice between a coax input and an analog input. My SACD player offers both (apart af course from the 5.1 setup) and I am not sure on what to pick.

In addition this question: I am using MIT cables for the analog input right now. I consider these cables perfect for th edigital in-output as well. Am I right or does "digital" require something different?

If you want to use "digital" out, you'll have to buy external DAC unless your receiver has. Also, I don't believe there is standard for digital out for SACD, yet.

You can't output SACD via digital out on SACD player. You can, however, output 16/44.1 (redbook) from your SACD player.
