DVD Audio -- processor....TOSLINK or RCA?


Hi
I have a DVD audio player with 6 channel output and digital out (RCA and toslink)
The player has an inbuilt processor with DTS/ dolby pro logic/ DD/ HDCD compatibility
but everyone on audiogon has told me not to use the onboard processor ...i dont know why...it sounds great...when directly connected to my electrocompaniet and marantz sm17sa
if I REALLY do need a pre-amp how should i rig it? RCA or TOSLINK

Fatparrot is right...... RCA connection has much less noise and jitter.

btw: the reason to use an outboard processor is because the built in ones use the cheapest chips available on the market, assuming that anyone that uses them has a very simple system. Use them until you feel like spending more money.
