I mentioned this as the Philips SACD 1000 actually has measurably different responses between the 2 channel analogue outs and the multi-channel analogue outs. I can't remember if the manual makes mention of this or not, but according to JA's test results in Stereophile, the two are not identical. Going by what my ears and his measurements had to say, the multi-channel outputs are the best to use on this specific player. Just thought that i'd mention this as it might come into play on other units too. Sean
