Emotiva XSP-1 Question
Danoroo...you're welcome. Glad to help. 
OLIVE sucks...
Miner42...you're preaching to the choir. There are many threads on here, (most by me or many of my replies).Olive Audio is the biggest piece of shit company to ever degrade the audio industry...period. 
Emotiva XSP-1 Question
I just looked at the manual for the HK990 and there are "preout" jacks, but no "main in" or "amp in" jacks.So I am assuming you are using the Processor Input as the hook up for the XSP-1?If so, you'll need to go into the menu setting and look for ... 
FLASHER input
If your Marantz unit is in a cabinet where there is no line of sight for the remote, the "flasher unit" is put outside the cabinet to allow the remote to work.It's a remote...remote sensor.

Is it possible to down-mix stereo outs to mono amp
09-22-15: Zd542"If the OP uses software to convert stereo to mono, there is no hook up question."Yes, there is a hook up question. Just because the signal is converted from stereo to mono "at the source", how would the OP get that from his DAC to ... 
Is it possible to down-mix stereo outs to mono amp
Al...ZD's suggestion doesn't address the OP's hook up question. It is software based, BUT, if the source in question can be switched to mono, then would a "Y" adapter work?The output would then be mono BEFORE it hits the DAC, so the difference in ... 
Is it possible to down-mix stereo outs to mono amp
I recant my above "Y" adapter suggestion as per Al. I never really even considered that a current day DAC could have such a low output impedance, (and such a poorly designed power supply section) that would create such a channel imbalance as to ca... 
Is it possible to down-mix stereo outs to mono amp
Actually a simple "Y" adapter will do. 
It Was 40 Years Ago Today...
Martykl...I agree with you 100% about Fleetwood Mac. I have seen several times before the Buckingham/Nicks era and MANY times since. The newer incarnation was, IMHO, one of the best bands to grace the stage.
