In Reply to: What is "5.1 analog" bypass? posted by 12stepper on March 9, 2001 at 15:38:16:
Well 12stepper, there are two high resolution digital formats in the marketplace, DVD-Audio and SACD.Curiously, the high resolution output is only available as an analog signal, with the exception of Meridian (demonstrated digitally passing DVD-A but not to market, in proprietary format) MSB (can add capability to pass the high res signals via ANOTHER proprietary format and Sharp SACD (prototype demonstrated at CES). So to properly handle a 5.1 source from an analog output, you need to have a 5.1 analog bypass (aka direct) input.
Without it, you go through yet another A/D conversion, followed by another D/A conversion, assuming your piece can handle the 6 channel input at all.
Hope this helps.
