Lots of moderate priced receivers do this to all signals. And yes, adding a receiver's ADC and DAC can seriously degrade the signal quality. Especially with a good source like a Transporter or serious DAC. As the cliche says: A chain is as weak as its weakest link. For audiophiles, you can't skip any step. And this is why a number of audiophiles want as few things in the chain as possible. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
