Analog is analog so yes using the analog outputs on the squeezebox may introduce the effect that the analog signal is reencoded as digital ( depends on how your reciever works ) .
In general a true analog bypass in rare in HT receivers novadays sometimes not even a direct mode is what that ? Usually the manual are very vague about it ,unless the reciever has it for real . And yes using any sound effect would invoke digital DSP processing and this includes the subwoofer cross over . So if you use your subwoofer for music the choice is simple use a digital input on the reciever spdiff or optical ToS link ,Touch have both . I would then keep the squeezebox volume at 100% and use the receivers volume . If you have a lot of inputs left and your direct mode is a real analog passthru you could conect that one too all outputs of the squeezebox are active at the same time . Note that if you intend to compare them ,you have to fiddle with volume control ,the same setting would usually not yield the same volume between an analog or digital input use an SPL meter ( to compare soundqality the volume must be identical between two choices our brain would interpret a tiny louder as better even if you can't really hear it as louder ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96780 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
