DVD Audio -- processor....TOSLINK or RCA?


Hi
I have a DVD audio player with 6 channel output and digital out (RCA and toslink)
The player has an inbuilt processor with DTS/ dolby pro logic/ DD/ HDCD compatibility
but everyone on audiogon has told me not to use the onboard processor ...i dont know why...it sounds great...when directly connected to my electrocompaniet and marantz sm17sa
if I REALLY do need a pre-amp how should i rig it? RCA or TOSLINK

I've read that toslink can be better, but the audio companies do not use top quality components for the signal receptacles on the back of each unit. It is cheaper to use sub-commercial grade receptacles. I use the RCA output on my DVD player for digital signals. Just curious, is DVD-A capable of being output as a digital signal? Or is it only SACD that has to be output as analog? My Sony S9000ES has to send the SACD signal out as analog.
