the 563 is really nice-- I like quality equipment, and I was not expecting something this fine for a rock-bottom price. Very cool display and good interface. I've only used it for DVDs and CDs so far--I've ordered some SACDs and DVD-As. I did try the analog 5.1 inputs using DVDs. Unlike some others, I have no complaints about CD playback quality--I ditched my CD player.

I'm pretty sure any analog input (other than when analog bypass is selected) is converted to digital. Are you saying that that info is not output via the digital outputs? Bummer.
