So my beautiful music coming from the expensive DAC is ruined in the receiver? 

I know when I turned off Audyssey with "Pure Direct" the music sounded much better.    Now - I am wondering if I also have digital volume control.    My volume knob on the Marantz doesn't have a travel stop.  It can be turned  to infinity in either direction.   

Which makes me shudder to think my analog output from my DAC is converted back to digital.   How awful!!!

Hello everyone, first time posting here. I have been using jriver Mc 27, been searching the forum for a long time but didn’t seem to find the answer to my question. Please help!!!

I recently ordered a ifi neo idsd dac which has both xlr and dac outputs. I intend to set up my 2.1 system as follows:

1) PC with jriver Mc 27 through USB to DAC
2) Dac xlr out to amplifier out to my monitor audio silver tower speakers
3) Dac rca out to subwoofer LFE

Will jriver be able to identify 6 channels so I can upmix the output to 2.1 and create a LFE channel so I can use the subwoofer and room correction settings or JRiver will identify only 4 channels (L and R) so I can not set crossover frequency settings and LFE?

Look forward to any comments/advice on this.  Much appreciated

Thanks

Deric

Are you doing volume control with the DAC?

Greetings,
I'm a newbie and this is my first post here, so please excuse my nativity. I am currently running MC25 on a ASUS desktop running Win 10 64 bit. Up until now I have been using an Emotiva XDA-2 via USB as my DAC. This week I am planning on installing a Pro-ject Pre Box S2 Digital [https://www.project-audio.com/en/product/pre-box-s2-digital] to replace the Emotiva. The Pro-ject DAC is capable of up to DSD512 (DSD1024), and PCM up to 32b/768kHz. I would like to know how to best configure MC to interact with new DAC.
Thank you for any suggestions in advance.
Rod

hi, so just reading the first post, does it mean that HDMI 2.0 is the best to use for multi-channel and highest quality?
