"Could he have meant that I needed a cable that would adapt digital out at one end to regular old RCA interconnects on the other? Or was he just full of baloney?"

No, he was assuming that both the DVD player and the Arcam had suitable input/output digital connections and no they cannot be mixed. Both are used to transmit the digital data but the RCA/XLR format uses a standard IC and the Tos-link uses a fiber optic cable.

Does your DVD player have a digital out via an RCA jack? Sometimes players will offer both connection options but mostly it is one or the other.

Cheers
