How do you know when to use ANALOG vs DIGITAL?

I'm struggling to understand what type of interconnect I would use between my pre-amp and my amp? Is it an analog signal?

I'm assuming that I would use a digital going from my source (DVD/CD) to my pre-amp?

Just a little confused? Thank you for the help.

Pre-amp to Amp is analog

Not sure about digital amplifiers

DVD to Pre-amp would be single digital cable unless you are using the 5.1pre-out on the DVD to the 5.1input/SACD/DVD-A connection which uses 6 analog cables.

CD to preamp would be anaog if you are using the standard output (2 cables), if you want to use the fiber-out or coax-out then it would be 1 digital cable needed

Pre-amp to subwoofer would also be analog

hope that helps!

You answers are definatly very scientific, you have the verbal accuracy of a 30-06 with a high powered scope.

Keep yer explanations as they are, mine are dumbed-up enough, it is nice to get an answer that goes more in depth and explains a little more.
