I don't think turning off "digital processing" is seen as the same thing as avoiding A/D-D/A, in the home theater world. My best guess is that it simply turns off any reverb effects and dolby processing. Looking in the manual on page 60 I found this information: "Direct The selected input source is output by the front left and right speakers only, with minimal processing for a pure sound. Pure Audio As an extension of Direct mode, this mode turns off the display, turns off the power to the video circuitry, and minimizes any other possible noise sources, providing a high fidelity sound thatÂ’s true to the original. (Since the power to the video circuitry is turned off, no video signals are output while this mode is selected.)" Also, Pure Audio can be used with digital sources according to the table on page 59. -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me. (Especially not if you ask me.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33197
