- On what do you base your opinion that the signals go through
- the digital processing in the Source-Direct mode?
-
- In my manual, there is a line shown that loops around all the digital
- circuitry from the input switch to the Front output switch. Besides that
- the manual specifically states that this is the case.
-
- How have you determined that what I see in the manual is wrong, or that
- I am reading it wrong?
