Yeah, I've seen some of the manufacturers be kind of cagey with that feature. It could be that they're implementing basic things like volume control entirely in the DSP and need it all the time. There are certain high-end pre/pros that digitize all the time: Lexicon and (I think) Anthem. > If you wanted, you could run BOTH the analog and digital cables in > parallel (since both are active) and A/B it for comparison.

As I stated, this is the easiest way, and you can switch between both while the music is playing with only a fraction of a second dropout. -- 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
