What is best to use for SACD

I am coming out of a universal player into a new reciever. Which is the best possible audio connection to use .
If it is tosh or coax how do they work with the DVD. I am thinking the converters in the receiver are going to be employed, but what happens to SACD?

For SACD (and DVD-A), you must use analog interconnects and, consequently, the DACs in the player. There are certain exceptions (iLink, DenonLink, MHR, etc) but, in general, neither format can be transmitted via digital cable.

If (GOD FORBID) HDMI v1.3 were to actually see the precious light of day, we might be in business.
