connect 1072 in Analogue or Digital In HDCD???

Hi Everyone,
When you connect a Rotel RCD 1072 which has HDCD and a Rotel Pre/Pro 1098 that has HDCD, does one have to connect the cables through Digital connection or Analogue connection to get the benefit and sound of HDCD?????
The Rotel 1072 does give the red light when one plays HDCD, and the Pre Amp is HDCD. Is it really playing true HDCD if you have it connected Via anologue connections or MUST I switch my cables to a DIGITAL connection???
Thanks guys,

It's a decoding process in the DAC. Only one will decode it (at a time). If you use the analog outputs, the 1072 is decoding it...digital outputs the 1098 will decode it.

So I guess both is the answer..
