McIntosh MVP871 CD Setup Questions


I have been using a Meridian 506 CD Player for the last 15 years(not SACD capable)I got a very good price on a gently used McIntosh MVP871 CD player which is SACD compatible and 2CH or 6 CH capable via rear connection. I am using a separate BluRay player for DVDs only. This is connected to the 6.1CH on my McIntosh MX 118 and I am using a McIntosh MC206 6 channel amp. So I want the Mac MVP871 for CD play only.My question is would you set it up 2 CH only or 6 CH????And is the SACD Cd's worth buying a few and are the SACD available for multiple channel play. I use a pair of Thiel CS2.3 speakers and a pair of JL Audio L110 subs up front. Thank you.

Few Bluray players play SACD. If you like multi-channel I would connect the 871 that way. You can switch it on the remote probably. Regular two channel discs will need to be played in two channel to sound right.
