This maybe a dumb quetion, bu do most/all DVD-A or SACD players process the signal onboard? In other words, since the 950 has 5.1 inputs, will plugging in a DVD-A player directly to the 950 work or will the player need to go through a processor and then to the 950?
No such things as dumb questions. All DVD-A/SACD players are currently required to decode onboard; RIAA will not allow a digital signal to leave the players. That's also why nobody provides DVD-A decoding in their pre/pros or receivers. The 5.1 is there pretty much exclusively for DVD-A/SACD.
You could put an ICBM between the DVD-A and 950, but that's purely for bass management, and that's a whole separate discussion...
