What preamp do you have that does more than 2 channels?Besides being able to send pure DSD/SACD, using analog outs allows one to bypass the lousy audio of most AVRs. Just connect the analog out of the unit to your preamp or integrated amp and you have great analog audio.
I don't mind correcting some issues, but never into anything digital because it truncates the bit depth, no way around that. I want purity in the digital domain.
What does that have to do with your claim of degrated sound quality claimed in the first post?Not all of my playback is 192 or 96 to begin with. Isn't it presumptuous to assume we are always starting up with such high bit rates.
You lost me?
As true today as ever.Remember when they used to say "but digital does not lose anything ever because it's digital" LOL!
