Oppo 95 setup question -- complete Noob question

OK, been playing with the Oppo 95 for a while. I have a couple of things that I could use help with. I am not sure they aren't due to me.

1) Played "Hell Freezes Over" DVD by the Eagles. I could not get the DTS bonus track to work ("Seven Bridges Road, audio only"). Any thoughts?

2) I am now set up with 5.1 analog AND 2-channel cables. The 5.1 cables are from Blue Jeans cables (remember, I'm running a Rotel 1056 receiver and B&W LCR6 speakers (F, C, L) with B&W in ceiling surrounds in a less than ideal listening room). For the 2-channel I burned some paypal bucks on a set of jwaudio interconnect cables. I thought I'd see if "better" cables made a difference.

I set the Rotel to 2-channel mode for cd's and multi-input for dvds. My understanding is that this uses the DACs in the Oppo or am I missing them and really using the Rotel's lesser DACs? Clearly, I want to use the Oppo's DACs.

Thanks for your help and patience with my questions.

The Oppo 95 has dedicated 2 channel outputs. Use them for your 2 channel music.

I am guessing that the DTS Sound track needs to be played through the digital out.

If you use the multi input on your Rotel only for the Oppo and set the 95's dedicated stereo outs to out put FL/FR, this will insure the best of both worlds by playing back 2 channel and multi from the same outputs. This will also insure at all times your bypassing the dac's in your Rotel unless another source besides the Oppo is being used.There is no need for 7 rca cables in this setup, unless you are using the XLR stereo outs with a preamp that can accept 2 channel stereo inputs via XLR cables, 5 rca cables will do!

Thanks. I just found it odd that the analog outs had the processing done vs. digital stereo out. For example, on the Wadia ipod interface, using the analog out uses your processor's DACs while the digital out uses the $0.10 DAC in the ipod. Had me confused...

Late to the party here, but I think you've got it backwards on the Wadia interface - using the L/R analog outputs utilizes the $0.10 DAC in the Wadia, but digital out bypasses it and send it unscathed (jitter not withstanding) to the higher-quality DAC of your choice (kind of the whole point of buying the Wadia, if you ask me).
