Brian, as Curtis, Jason and the others have pointed out, the 525 does in fact provide bass management on the multiple analog inputs from DVD-As/SACDs. Although the 563A also can do bass management, it's rather unsatisfactory for the type of speakers you'll use, as this
test shows. Using the bass management in the 525 would be preferable. Although some fear the extra analog to digital and digital to analog conversions involved, this shouldn't be a concern since these ADCs and DACs don't audibly degrade the sound.
