I currently have a 950 connected to a Denon 3910 Universal DVD player using a digital coaxial cable. For DVD-A and SACD playback, I have also connected the player using the 5-channel audio inputs.

Here is my questions...for "stereo" listening, is there any benefit in using the 2-channel analog audio inputs on the 950? It appears to me that if I want to listen to analog 2-channel, I can simply use the bypass setting on the 950 which feeds a 2-channel analog signal using the left/right connections of the 5-channel inputs.

If I want to use the DACs in the 950 instead of the 3910, then I can use the digital signal via the coaxial cable.

Based on this setup, I don't see a need to use the 2-channel analog inputs. Is there an advantage that I am missing using my current approach?

Thanks for you assistance,

David
