Do I have to use 6 channel connections for DVD Audio?
I don't own a DVD Audio disc yet but I'm looking at Blue Man Group DVD Audio.
Integra 9.1 DPS to Denon 3805.

Hey guys,
Is it possible send DVDA/SACD signals out the digital connections (coax or toslink)? I assumed you could since the information is encoded digitally, simply more data.
Or is the only option to get the DVDA/SACD goodness is use a set of 6 analog cables?

I believe you have to use the 5.1 cables; the decoding of the DVDA/SACD digital stream takes place in the disk player. I do not believe there are receivers that will do that decoding based on a digital output from the player (in the same way they decode DD, DTS, etc.). I hope someone will correct me if that supposition is incorrect.

Nope, the only 3 ways (that I'm aware of) to do multichannel are
1) The 6 analog connections
2) Using Pioneer's i.Link, but you need a Pio DVD and AVR
3) Using Denon Link

As far as I know there is no technical reason why the information could not be sent out over the digital connection, just an agreement between the content providers and the player manufacturers that premium audio content (5.1 DVD-A and SACD) will not be sent out over a digital link unless that digital link is copy protected like DenonLink.
The feeling was that sending out an unprotected digital stream would make it too easy to rip off the content.
This whole content protection thing seems a bit misguided to me, and there are even wierder things going on in the video world. I assume anyone wanting to steal the content could just copy the disks anyways...
