I'm considering using the Yamaha YSP-1000 "speaker bar" in a secondary room; although the speaker has its own amp and provides for source switching (i.e., you don't need a receiver), said source handling is limited.
So I'd planned to hook up a receiver at the front end and send the receiver's pre-amp outputs to the speaker ... alas, the speaker only has digital inputs - one coax and one optical.
I realize many receivers (including the Denon 2807 & 2106 I'm considering) have digital outputs, but I've never actually used these and not sure if they function as I would need.
For instance, say a receiver only has an optical digital output ... would the active source on the receiver automatically be piped through this output, and as bitstream? Would only optical digital inputs be piped through this, or would coax be sent as well? What about analog inputs ... I suspect these probably wouldn't be supported over the digital out, correct?
