Digital in/Analog out with Denon 1803 (1 Viewer)

[BryanZell]

With a new 1803 and digital inputs a plenty I thought I could get rid of the cable mess - 1 cable/component. I also use zone 2 and would like an anolog out for another receiver. Turns out that any digital in cannot be sent to any analog out - to zone 2, tape out - whatever. Has anyone been able to get digital in to appear somewhere as analog out?

This is a very common limitation with many brands of receivers. Neither my previous receiver (Sony DA50ES) nor my current one (Pioneer Elite VSX-47TX) will convert digital inputs to analog outputs. I would be surprised if your Denon supported such a function.
