McIntosh MX119

From my conversation with McIntosh just now, there IS volume control when inputting via the multi-channel analog inputs, but NO processing. The signal remains analog all the way through (aka: pass-through).

For all other analog inputs, it is the user's option to process the signal, or keep it analog for straight pass-through.

Correct me if I am wrong here.

Ron,

I just took from your earlier post that there was no volume control for the multichannel input. That is why I posted it.

Does the MX 119 convert an analog signal to digital so it can do the volume control? I thought I saw somewhere it had a digital volume control and wonder what that really means.

I have learned that it is a digital control over an analog volume. So for multi-channel and pure stereo direct, the signal is not converted to digital and back again.
