This one is tough and the Denon owners are going to have to give you the details, but the main issue is "which one has the better DACs -- CD player or receiver ?". In my case I have a good receiver and a cheap CD player so using a digital link (which uses the DACs in the receiver) seems to give me slightly better sound.

In your case you have a great CD player so there probably isn't much difference. If I had to guess I would say you're better off staying with the analog RCA hookup you have today but I don't know for sure.
