Hello, welcome to the forum! You probably thought correctly but mixed it up when writing it down: If you connect via digital, you in fact let the AV receiver do the conversion to analogue. If you connect using RCA (cinch), the Touch does the conversion. Like Phil says, let your ears be the judge! But there's one more thing. Some AV receivers convert all analogue input to digital for internal processing. In these cases, it only makes sense to connect any source digitally if at all possible, to avoid unnecessary loss of quality by back and forth D/A & A/D conversions. Also, if you have multichannel material (DTS encoded audio tracks), digital is the only option. Some AV receivers have a special operating mode where the analogue input is passed directly to the preamp, and no DSP is done (nor possible). In these cases, feeding analogue signal into the AV receiver is OK. I don't know about yours, you should be able to find the answer in the manual. Anyway, if you are doing any DSP (sound adjustment, EQ, surround) on the AV receiver, you should connect via digital. But in the end, what sounds the best to you is what matters. You might not be able to tell a difference at all. -Skinny -- Skinny This sentence says less than a list of audio equipment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skinny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21538 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85068 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
