From what I understand the bypass only works on analog input. Try installing your cd or dvd audio out to one of the analog inputs of the 950. You should then be able to utilized the bypass mode.

Hope this helps.... I haven't really tried it. I was just reading the manual.

I'm thinking of buying the 20-39 PCI. I'm kind of skeptical right now because my expectations are too high and don't really want to get disappointed. Thanks for the info anyway... Maybe the LFM-1 will do just as good.
