Hello:
I have a question about 1098 setup that I'm hoping an owner or former owner can help me with.
As quick background, let me describe my current setup: 1072 CD player feeding an RSX 1056 into the multi inputs. The reason I have it going into "multi" is that it lets me maintain the pure analog path through the receiver, but also does the bass redirect so that I can run my sub in addition to my mains for 2 channel stereo (actually 2.1 this way?). This is the best of both worlds as far as my music listening- all analog path coming after the 1072 DACs, then also a well integrated sub to round out the lows.
My challenges are with the new A/V codecs accompanying blueray, Dolby HD, etc. My processor can't decode them, so I would have to send them in via the "multi" input, already decoded by a BD player. Then I would lose my prized 2-channel setup.
I am thinking over the alternatives, and one thing that came to mind would be to get an older pre/pro like the 1098 and work off of that, thinking that the pre/pro would offer more flexability than an integrated recevier. So getting around to my questions, they are:
1. Does the 1098 offer the bass redirect from analog signal path for any other inputs than "multi"? In the 1056 it is only an option on multi, meaning I can't run the inputs into the "CD" input and keep the signal analog while also getting a feed to the subwoofer. I'm hoping that the more advanced/higher-end 1098 may have offered this option for more inputs.
2. If it does not, and I ran the CD signal into the CD input, would the "sub pre out" terminal actually contain a signal that I could capture and run to the sub?
3. If it didn't, would the line level signal be available somewhere else among the various pre-out options (other than the regular main L/R which would feed the power amp)?
Thanks!
