Is there an analog bypass for CD input on RSP-1098

[vsarathy]

All,

I didn't get any answers from 1098 owners on a related thread that I had started earlier. So, I thought that I would pose a more direct question to those that own a 1098.

In so far as I can figure out, the analog bypass seems to exist on the 1098 only when you are making use of the 6-channel inputs that one would typically for DVD-A/SACD playback.

My question was that if you connected your CD player to the analog inputs meant for CD in the AUDIO IN section of the back panel, do you still get a pure analog bypass?

I am sure that a $3000 processor should do this. But, there is a (confusing) section in the manual that says that all analog inputs are converted to digital signals.

Thanks

Yes there's a bypass mode...if you're using analog inputs simply press the stereo button until the display says bypass (its a toggle b/n Stereo and Bypass)
