Coax Digital compared to seperate 5.1 for movies.
I would definitely recommend the digital connection for several reasons. First, the analog inputs on the Integra/Onkyo prepros are their weakest features. Second, the use of analog interconnections eliminates the ability to use any of the DSP feat...

Some sources have poor DACs and some have good DACs as compared with those in the AVR or processor. That might be a critical distinction as the cables, themselves, are not.Kal 
crossover question for subwoof
Sure. Get a "subwoofer plate amp" from MCM or Part Express. This will power the subs and provide adjustable roll-offs.Or you can rewire the internal networks if you know something about electronics.Kal 
Are there any DACs with a subwoofer output?
Not that I know of. I would be surprised if such existed today. There are older processor/DACs that will do it. In fact, I have a Technic SH-AC500D in one of my closets that will serve.Kal 
external crossover recommendations
Why prior to the preamp? How will you control volume for all channels that way? Usually, the crossover is in or after the preamp. Also, what are you connecting up?Kal

No answer, of course, unless you reveal what you are connecting with those cables.Kal 
5.1 vs 7.1
How many recordings/movies do you have with 7.1 tracks on them?Kal 
Integra 9.8 troubles
One more time: The prepro cannnot select a surround setting. You must select the proper track with the player and you must define the processing for each format on each input in the 9.8 menu. Kal 
Integra 9.8 troubles
You have to select the appropriate sound track from the disc menu. Otherwise, you get the default, whatever that is; apparently stereo.The display on the 9.8 shows what it is receiving and then the 9.8 can redistribute it as set in the input menu.Kal 
Why can't my 32" Sony LCD show component out?
This should certainly work. I can only suggest the obvious: Is the resolution selected in the player suitable for the display?Kal 
HDMI Audio Quality vs Optical/Digital/Analogue
Coax digital has wider bandwidth than the original TOSlink interfaces would permit but TOSlink has been improved to its equal today. Kal 
DTS HD Master & Dolby True HD set up
02-07-09: Kennyt: Kal, Why?Because the 2500 was originally marketed as a transport to connect to processors that could decode the HD codecs and to differentiate it from the 3800.Kal 
Is Audyssey worth it?
I know. Most are.Kal 
Is there a consensus as to blu ray sound quality?
Good for you, it will help. Kal 
why does the bass change on my velodyne dls-5000
Can you restate the two conditions? I am not certain what you are comparing.Kal
