- By deleting the previous sentence, you made my comment meaningless.
- What I said (exactly) was:
-
- All DSP settings (Pro-Logic, ambience, equalization, compression/
- expansion) are by-passed in the "Source Direct" mode. As you state,
- analog signals still go through A/D->D/A, however. (Don't ask me
- why Sony does it that way, though.)
-
- The question that several of us who have Sony TA-E2000ESD have been asking
- is why the source direct mode (which by-passes all DSP functions) doesn't
- also by-pass the A/D->D/A conversion for analog inputs.
