I watched a couple standard DVD's today in my BR player. I still have my digital coax hooked up as well as MC analog. I did some switching back and forth to see what difference there might be. Using standard DVD I didn't expect much and thought the processors DAC should have the edge. This wasn't the case. The comparison was exact though because my processor has the center and rears set to "small". Way back when I thought it was better that way. My 1200 don't have bass management so I set all speakers to large, I didn't think my sub was receiving the proper signal. When switching the analog was also some louder so there was a bit of delay playing with the volume to get to where I thought it was about even from the prior source. The analog from the 1200 just struck me as being better, it was more spread out and room filling. I plan to do some more listening when I'm not actually trying to watch a movie but this really surprised me.
