Correct. Meridian has no analog pass through. Everything analog into it goes through ADC (I'm not using any ADC here). That doesn't mean is has no Analog components for Volume Control. I just quoted one from the G95 datasheet (which is an inexpensive unit compared to G68). Meridian has been doing the same hybrid volume for 15-20 years in just about everything. Just to be clear. I'm not connecting analog outputs from Transporter to G68 and treating that as "Analog". Here is the G95 data sheet that calls it hybrid. It's not a "hybrid mode". Don't read that as a "Hybrid" Digital/Analog Preamp. It's not. It's the implementation of Volume control has digital and analog components. http://www.meridian-audio.com/data/G95ds-a4.pdf Meridian marketing folks will give it a new name with every product. But's the same thing in all of them. -- mswlogo XP > Cat5 > Transporter/DuetController > SPDIF > Meridian G68 > DSP6000, DSP5500HC, DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > DuetReceiver > SPDIF > Meridian G91 > DSP5000 'My Transporter Setup' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=350741&postcount=45) 'Hitch Hikers Guide to Meridian' (http://www.meridianunplugged.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78477 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
