Help! = Would 5.1 Dolby/Dts would be better via Optical rather than

[admin_exported]

7.1 Analogues ouput from my Samsung BD-P2500 Blu-Ray through an Arcam AVR-280.

The Samsung Manual seems to rate the Optical output better but I don't want to buy/have more leads than is necessary.

To receive HD sound I realise I need to run the sound via the Analogues.

Cheers.

Short answer, no, if the BD-P2500 decodes HD audio onboard then that is always going to sound better than the non-HD DD/dts that you'll get down the Optical digital connection.
