That's good to know.  I'm surprised it's not clear in any of the specs
that this is:

1.  How the digital volume control works, since it is superior to most
other methods, and
2.  that the digital output is always 24 bit.

I guess the only downside is that:

1. If you are trying to stream HDCD without it being decoded or
unpacked on the server, you can't (since an external D/A converter that
understands HDCD won't understand 24bit word length as a valid HDCD
stream).

2. If you are trying to stream a DTS CD you have on your server, into a
surround decoder, again you cannot do so, because the stream is not
unaltered.

Or am I missing something?
