Will, I wasn't thinking of bass management in terms of crossovers, but instead setting which speakers get output from the SACD/DVD-A player. I was thinking you could set the sub output to No" on one of these players, and any present .1 track would be output through the L/R mains. Are you...

Being unfamiliar with SACD/DVD-A players, I have a question I hope someone here can answer. I would like to know whether a SACD/DVD-A player can take the .1 of a source and output it through the L/R mains, much like you can configure a regular DVD player when using its analog outputs and...

I sometimes wonder if it isn't better to utilize the digital output from a SACD or DVD-A player (which I believe is downmixed to 48kHz) in order to get digital bass management, time alignment, and direct access to the DSP modes? I am not just speaking about the 950, but most prepros in general...

John, "Michael M: I thought about referring to your semi-transparent referral(post 43) to my system's potential errors with a complete listing of my setup process including the calibration discs and how I use Spectra Plus for EQing and speaker positioning, but instead, I just bit my lip. As it...

RAF, "All this rhetoric by people who haven't heard the 950 yet doesn't amount to a hill of beans as far as I'm concerned. It's based on conjecture rather than hard evidence." The "hard evidence" is that the 950 does not have a toggle or a menu switch to turn off the subwoofer in the analog...

"Ship the damn thing so we can end all the discussion about it. Maybe folks will spend their time listening to it rather than speculating about it." Well, if it weren't for some unfortunate circumstances, that would have happened a few weeks ago. In case anyone has forgotten, there is the...

RAF, The problem with using a select few test cases (or a single case?) with full-range speakers and the analog bypass stereo mode is that there could be several issues at hand. One is that the system's bass is not properly calibrated. Another is that the "full-range" mains are not even...

"If you don't use the bypass, you are converting all the analog signals to digital so you would have access to full bass management capabilities, as well as all the dsp modes." In this case, you would be better off using the digital connection from your CD/DVD player than the analog...

"Here, direct means using analog input. That's my understanding anyway." That was my understanding too, except I thought it meant using the analog bypass mode. Michael

"However, when listening to music in "direct" mode, I turn my sub completely off so that all bass is handled by the fronts. Is this possible with the 950?" You can do this one of three ways: (1) turn off the sub, (2) lower the sub's level to zero, or (3) lower the sub's level in the 950 to off...
