Note direct/bypass modes are supposed to bypass the DSP, eliminating the extra conversion. However this means you won't have the niceties the DSP can provide - no surround modes, usually no bass management and often not even any tone controls. -- Mark Lanctot "It's like, you know, a New Age religion, but with better treble response." - Jon Heal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32077 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
