Help: Hook up Sony DVP-S9000ES

Hi,
I just got the Sony DVP-9000ES,and need help how to connect to the Classe SSP25.
1/ Do I have to have 2 cables (Digital Cable for DVD, and IC for Super CD)or do I need any one of them in order to play both DVD and Supper Audio CD? I ask this question because in the manual says that "SACD audio signals are not output from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connectors"
2/ Which one is the best to use: Optical or Coaxial?
3/ If I want to bypass the Sony's DAC and use Classe's DAC,which output should I use on the Sony: Digital or Analog?
Thanks for your help

Tim, once you get your 9000ES modified by Dan, you will enjoy redbook CDs even more, BUT, you will change your mind about SACDs. Well-done redbook CDs are VERY enjoyable, BUT, a well-done SACD is quite a bit superior to the well-done CD. SACD, in the right system, simply moves you a notch or two higher on the emotional involvement scale. You should feel optomistic; you have some good things to look forward to ;-). Enjoy your holidays. TK

Tim, it took me a while to really understand the effect SACD has. After listening for months I really can't stand that any CD I might want isn't available in a CD/SACD
format. I have listened extensively to DCS upsampled CD's and love the improvement, but once you A-B the same tracks in SACD, the SACD wins every time. It is an across the board improvement, not a partial one.

I'll keep that in mind, perhaps try to give things a more open mind. Regards,
