Are the 6/8 channel direct outputs on a DVD player just as good as using a toslink or optical cable?

Usually the d/a on a high end receiver is much better than the ones on the players unless the player is a top of the line version.

Unless of course you're using the 6/8 ch inputs for a DVD-A/SACD player.  Very few recievers have a digital input (ie firewire) capable of that.  In that instance you have no option.
