1 and 2. Does this Onkyo have a true analog pass-through ?? in any of these modes ?? if not = always use digital with 100% volume, do all processing in the receiver. Without analog pass-through you will first use the Touch's DA converter to produce the analog signal, put that trough an AD at the Onkyos input and finally DA again inside the reciever, this leads to obvius problems. So for the majority of HT products use the digital output on a squeezebox. Note that even if you have analogpass-through, invoking any processing like using the subwofer or any DSP mode would make the signal do the AD-DA route anyway -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE for the rear ch.
