When playing CD's in my DVD/CD player, I have found that the Stereo Bypass mode of the 950 is very very clean.
With the S1500, I have also found myself using stereo bypass for listening to CD's. With my previous DVD player (Panasonic RA60), I tended to prefer using the digital output.
Do you use the CD upsample feature of your Yamaha DVD-S1500? I understand it upconverts to 24/192, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I was curious as to how valuable this feature was on the Yamaha.
The S1500's manual is not particularly clear on the matter of the upconversion. I do have it turned on, but there is a comment in the manual that suggests that it is treated as "off" if the output is set to "multichannel" elsewhere (which it needs to be in order to get multichannel playback from SACD's). I haven't had a chance to figure out if the stereo analog output still upconverts.
