My setup: 1068 used as a 2-ch processor and a cheap-o Sony 5-disc changer through fiber in PCM 2CH mode. No other speakers besides L+R and sub at the moment.
Has anyone ran their 2-channel in this mode (PL IIx Music)? Just curious your experiences. Seems like the soundstage widens, but I can't tell if you're just getting the reverb from the rears through the L+R.
Also, what's the word on the DACs in the Sony units? I would assume that the Rotel DACs are far superior, considering the price difference between a (new) $2K preamp and a $200 cd changer. Then again, I could be wrong. I usually am, and would probably find out for myself if room logistics didn't make this less than convenient. That, and I have some HDCD discs that this player can't process.
Thanks.
