If you're using the digital coax, then the digital signal is going out from the Denon to the HK where it is being decoded. If you use the analog outputs from the Denon to the HK, then the Denon will do the decoding.

Which DAC processes CD audio - receiver or DVD?
I have a Denon DVM-1815 DVD/CD changer with 24-bit Burr-Brown audio DACs connected to an HK DPR-1001, which also has audio DACS. The audio connection is via coax cable. When I play an audio CD, which DAC is doing the conversion? I chose the Denon in part because of its excellent DAC. Is there some way to control which DAC does the conversion?
