Your preamp/processor must have a 6-channel (5.1) analog input - a.k.a. "Digital-Ready" - to take advantage of DD (or DTS, or whatever). This could be in the form of either RCA-type or DB-25 connectors coming from the DVD player or an outboard DD decoder. Of course, you can still use the 2-channel analog outs of the DVD player into your pre/pro for DPL. You may look into the used market for a pre/pro that has DPL and is Digital-Ready (e.g. a Rotel RSP-980 for approx. $600-$700 used or a Proceed PAV $1300-$1500 used). Bottom line is you must do something and you must do it now and you can't wait any longer and...good luck.
