DAC= *D*igital To *A*nalog *C*onverter Yes a digital output has nothing to do with the DAC.
If you want to keep it bitferfect you lock the squeezebox volume at 100%. This can be done in the server settings. Likevise functions like replaygain can also be turned off to be sure to get bitperfect output. And Yes the best way to use any modern AV receiver is to connect all sources digitally. Most because the reasonable priced Recievers don't have any analog passtrough. All analog signals goes to an ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) and will then be processed digitally like any other signal, so that you can use surround modes subwoofer filters and whatnot. So that Means you are going to listen the recievers DAC whatever you do, therefore connect all things digitally. Also the analog inputs and ADC in such recievers are meant for "legacy" equipment such as VCR old sat boxes cassete decks and stuff, and would not have serius soundquality. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE rear ch.
