Not all A/V receivers are digital. Those with AC-3 and DTS are digital. The old Dolby theatre technology is not digital (Pro-logic).
Are A/V receivers digital?
Do A/V receivers convert analog input signals to digital, process them, and reconvert to analog? Can any A/V receiver keep the signal analog?
I ask this because if receivers always convert to digital, as I suspect, all A/V receivers would harm analog signals from SACD and DVD-Audio players. If the receivers can't handle 96/24, they would harm the signal from 96/24 DAD discs as well. Hopefully the receivers with 5.1 inputs keep the signal analog through this input.
