SSP Digital versus Analog inputs

Any help/clarification/understanding of the question below will be most apprciatied. My Surround Sound Processor has both digital and analog inputs with very solid DAC's. The DVD player which is doubling as a CD player has analog and digital outs.

I can understand having analog inputs for vinyl LP's but I don't understand why one would utilize analaog outputs/inputs with CD playback.

Thanks

Um, well some processors actually have a DAC or digital to analogue convertor, and some don't. If the DAC in your pre-amp sounds better use the DIGITAL out, a single (RCA) use 75ohm cable and put it direct into your per-amps digital input.

If there are (2) RCA's they are probably suggesting a digital source via it's analogue outputs.

So-- Which esteemed product from Japan do you own?
