Another to consider is the Atlantic Technology version of the 950. I recently received an email from them on the differences between the two. They are:
Premium hand selected and calibrated components in the key processing
paths. This includes the main pre-amp, DSP, and Video boards; All caps,
DACs and Output ICs.
Higher grade Op-Amps for improved Signal to Noise Ratio in Direct, Digital,
and in the Analog-DSP inputs.
Higher video bandwidth at (55 MHz).
Higher grade premium power supply for more current stability.
Lower output impedance for increased tolerance with a wider variety of
audiophile cables.
Higher S/N ratio, greater stereo separation and lower stereo distortion in
the FM Tuner section
Lastly, the Atlantic Technology P-2000 features more ergonomically designed
buttons, and is available in a brushed aluminum titanium or black finish at
no additional charge.
Unfortunately, like the 950, you can't turn of the bass management output to the subwoofer for the 5.1 analog inputs, it's always on no matter what position the bass management switch is in.
