Default Setup advice

Hello,

I recently acquired a pair of Dynaudio floorstanders and have inherited a
Primare A30.2 power amp. I have an old hand-me-down Denon AVR 3300 (used to
be top-of-the-line back in its day), which I am planning to use as a
preamplifier. At the moment, I'm using a cheap source - a Samsung DVD player
DVDHD870.

I am wondering whether I should I the DVD player's onboard DAC and run an
analogue interconnect into the Denon, whether I should run a Toslink cable
and let the Denon's DAC do the signal processing?

I'm planning to use this setup (at least until I can afford a good preamp
and source) primarily for stereo music and the occasional DVD. I'm not
planning to use any of the Denon's sound processing functions and am feeding
a Direct mode into the Primare.

Would appreciate advice.

Regards,
Schiz
