I have been experimenting with music channels on sky satalite to see if the optical out was better than the analog in stereo (optical ) or bypass (analog) on the 1068.
On my old processor i was using the optical out only for everything thinking it would be better, Boy was i wrong.
I think the sound it absolutely chalk and cheese between the 2 for stereo music, the analog output for some reason is a little bit louder than the optical so when i was flicking between the 2 i needed to turn volume down a few notches to make it as fair a comparison as possible.
The sound from the optical seems as if it is muffled or compressed compared to the analog, so i then tested the pro logic 2 settings between the 2 and was thinking that surely then the optical would be better for that, wrong again but this time the sound is pretty close (apart from the volume differance again) but still prefered the analog. So from now on i will be listening to sky from the analog outputs for everything unless its a movie in dolby digital of course.
Has anyone else tried this and get the same results?? or if you have not tried it you should, you might be very surprised. would be curious to know.
thanks
