Anyone had a chance to run one of these through some listening tests. What did you think, how was the analog passthrough section and the 7.1 performance. Thanks.

I use the analogue pass through for a 2 ch Arcam CD92. It is transparent and comparable to what I get out of my Bryston pre.This is a very good pre/pro. Shines with music, whispers and aliens destroying earth. The dialogue is excellent. It provides a surrounding experience.
I did a quick test of the analog pass through. I ran the output of an SACD player through it. The results were *not* good. It definitely was not transparent, and added fair amount of high frequency harshness, in effect, wiping out most of the advantages of the SACD format.Note that my testing was done using a $3000 Stax electrostatic headphone/amp where I could easily switch between the two sources (through Anthem and direct). Your mileage with less transparent equipment may vary.
