it is converted back to digital first according to the manual and interviews; but it is a 24/192 kHz process with good DACs
Proceed AVP-2 +6 Multi-Channel Analog Input?
Does anyone know if the 5.1 channel analog input on this pre/pro is a pass through or if its converted to digital and then back to analog before its sent to the analog outputs? I seem to remember that it is converted to digital first which would seem to diminish the benefit of multi-channel SACD or any of the new uncompressed or less compressed audio tracks on HD DVD or Blu Ray.
