So one could feed an SB digital out to the amp's digital input, and the analog output to one of the other zone's analog inputs. That would still mean 1 y-splitter to get both zones 2 & 3, but that's a lot better than 2 splitters.
Unless you were saying that using the digital input on the Yamaha prevents *any* use of the analog inputs for zones 2 & 3. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57836 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
