Ken, congratulations on finally getting the new player that you've been torturing over. As far as the 525's bass management for DVD-A/SACD, the only tricky point appears to be that when you've selected the 6 channel direct inputs you have to select the 6 channel DVD-Audio setting rather than 6 channel direct, so that the ADC is in the circuit and allows for digital bass management.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
