The Toshiba SD9200 DVD Audio player requires you to select "audio direct." The Sony STRDB 1070 processor section requires you to select SACD/CD for DVD Audio. The Onkyo TX DS 797 requires you to select "multichannel direct." Obviously, different manufacturers have different nomenclature, but unless your system automatically selects for DVD Audio, you have to coordinate analog direct bypassing DTS, Dolby and other digital decoding or processing. (except for some really high end units which avoid the digital/anlalog conversion which is a puke idea foisted by the music companies to protect them from you making a master quality copy of your favorite music.) Of course, the same limitation limits the fidelity of the music reproduction. Although DVD Audio and SACD sound terrific, they could sound much better.
