I also prefer listening to 2 channel stero for many sources and ever since I got me DVD Audio player I have been using my analog outs with the stereo bypass on. It sounds better to me than listening to CDs through the digital coax on my dvd player. I got a great set of interconnects from Cobalt Cable and it really sounds nice with 2 channel or multi channel audio sources.http://www.cobaltcable.com/?source=HTD
