I called Enon and Onkyo for kicks to see how they route the analog signal. Onkyo says that in stereo operation the analog passes through dithout another AD/DA. In prologic it would be re digitized; that would make sense.
Denon, on the other hand, claims all signals are processed in the digital domain, even in stereo. However, unless one talks with their engineers for sure, I am not a 100% convinced that the stereo signal would be digitized but certainly could be. I have yet to notice a difference either way. But, I would need convincing evidence from a properly controlled and conducted test.
