Dumb CD/transport question

Actually two somewhat related questions.

1. When I use digital audio out on the CDP and use my pre/pro to convert it, am I simply using the CDP as a transport?


2. When I use the DVD-Audio outputs of the BRP for both BR and standard DVDs (though I like the digital outputs better for standard).....am I wasting the bulk of the pre/pro since the BRP is doing all of the decoding?

    1. Yes.

    2. Depends on which one does a better job.

    Thanks. I agree with 2, but I use the DVD-Audio for lossless since I don't have a HTR/processor with HDMI. I do like the processor better for DD and DTS.

    Thanks Steveinaz.
