All this talk about bass mgmt may be overated. I've been playing dvd-audio through my 1066 and there is plenty of bass. I haven't fooled with it a lot but it seems as there is some bass coming out of the subs as well. If you are really concerned about having that much control then the ICBM is probably the way to go. Much more control than the 950. The bottom line is dvd-audio is only as good as the mix given you. I've found a great deal of diferences between disks. Some sound great and others sound worse than a good cd. Also I do think hdcd sounds a litttle better than regular cd...quieter and cleaner. Again it may be the recordings.
