I would not say that digital out is bad I use that as the dacs in my meridian is superior to the SB3, but i don't use the volume control. So the digital out is the preferred output to HT equipment as most HT amps digitize it's analog inputs anyway, any kind of processing including subwofer filter is done digital, so I think digital is better. I use my Meridian preamp for volume. and has the SB volume for that player on fixed.
You could go analog if your Denon has analog bypass, but as you said you have the noise on other players around the house, so i'm guessing this won't solve our problem And as you said theres something with your mp4 decoding if its fine with mp3 or flac or WAV, theres nothing wrong with your amp conection with digital if it works with all other files but mp4. I know tw**t about mp4 so whats the bitrate how are these ripped ? You might want to send a file to a forum member that does use mp4. I have a clarkconnect linus server, so i doubt that i can play these without severe fidling with it, the AAC options in Advanced > filetypes is greyd out on my server so i can not listen to any of your files. -- Mnyb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48877 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
