With Blu Ray Player would you connect both cables


I have to use multichannel cables on my receiver from a Blu Ray Player.

Would you hook up both the multichannel cables and Toslink into the receiver? This way you use multichannel cables for DTS HD and toslink for regular DTS?

The reason I ask is I find it strange to revert back to analog RCA cables from Digital Audio and would think that when listening to plain old DTS it would be best to use the better cable?

On most Blu Ray players, do audio output simultaneously through both the toslink output and multichannel output?

I am looking to buy at Sony BDP-S550 to hook up to my B&K Reference 50

Thanks

You can. I would prefer using digital coax (or, better yet, HDMI) to take advantage of the DSP in the processor without encumbering additional A/D/A steps.
