What is the proper way to connect an Audigy Card to a Plextor CDRW and a
Pioneer 116 DVD player?

Audigy card has one S/PDIF CD audio cables connector and two analog CD audio
connector.  I assume (as per instructions) the S/PDIF goes to the DVD and
the analog to the CDRW, but why?  Why can't you use digital S/PDIF to CDRW?
Why cant you connect both drives to both analog and digital connectors and
toggle in windows? Wouldn't S/PDIF provide a better signal than analog? Can
I use some sort of S/PDIF Y adapter to connect S/PDIF to both?  Someone
please explain the reasoning behind these connections.


Thanks
