Re: Multi-channel analog input vs digital inputs?

What causes the difference in volume is the output levels of both the 5.1 outs of the DVD player and the outputs of the processor section of your receiver. Once the digital data is decoded in your receiver or DVD player it has analog outputs in some form or another that have a set voltage and wattage they output, some are variable.



You maybe right because its hard to compare a 44khz signal to a 192khz when listening to music sources. I've compared Audio CD and SACD and I see no difference in Volume except the fact that SACD has more data information because of the surround information and clearer sound,but volume does have nothing to do with it,but I notice the frequency bandwith of SACD which is 5x more than regular Audio cds.

I've done some stupid tests myself when I compared audio cd to sacd. Its really hard to tell by thier same volume up close,but I notice that If I go outside about 40 feet away from home theater playing SACD the frequency bandwith is really wide and I can still hear the music coming out from the SACD soundtrack. I tried doing it with audio cd and the sound is dead from that range. So yea at some points volume is involve, its hard to tell when up close though.


As for mutli-channel analog and digital are you saying the digital data part is
"fixed?" I'm confuse dude.

Or when watching/listening to dolby/dts encoded dvds through the 5.1 outputs on the dvd is the digital being converted to analog or is it the other way around?
