You have it figured out already -- the CD analog input goes through A-D and D-A conversion, but the 5.1 analog input stays in the analog domain.
I am curious what CD player you have that has a better DAC than the 1050 ? How good of a CD player do I need to buy to get a better DAC than the 1050 ?
My Harman/Kardon FL-8300 (~$300 retail about five years ago) sounded better to my ear when I used the 1050's DAC. I slightly preferred the DAC in my Yamaha CDC-775 (~$350 retail) to the 1050's DAC.
