    SQ difference between digital and analog outputs

    I just purchased a squeezebox and was comparing the unit's DAC against the DAC inside my receiver (connected via digital coax).

    At the same volume level I noticed that the mids and highs sound clear using the analog outputs but the bass is lacking. The digital output has slightly lesser sounding mids and highs but significantly more pronounced bass.

    I could understand the difference in signal quality when comparing DAC's but not the difference in bass output. This leads me to believe that there must be a difference in bass management between digital and analog outputs...is my reasoning correct?

    I am currently using BYPASS MODE, but would like to use my expensive subwoofer if this is possible.

    1068 2CH Setup with Bass Mangement
    by Raptor
    Hi everyone,

    Great forum!

    I am having problems with bass not being strong enough (or muffled & not distinct or clear, boomy when levels turned up) when listening to certain cd tracks.

    5CH seems to produce a lot more bass than 2CH stereo and sounds better....
