Hello,
I have a Denon 1920 connected to a Cambridge Audio Azur 540R, and I always thought that a 6.1 in direct connection was better than using the decoder inside the amplifier via optical. But I tried the optical link last night and it was much better, louder and slightly clearer, especially the centre speaker. Because this last setting is better for my ears, I'm going to keep it, but I'm a bit disappointed as I spend some money on coax cables between the DVD player and the amplifier for nothing. Am i wrong as opt will be always better than direct analog? The denon DTS/Dolby decoder is worse than the one of the amplifer? Thanks for your feedback.
