Actually those that know a little more would disagree.
Many of us have very nice CD players and external DACs where it makes sense to use analog outputs into the 990 using bypass. Yes this "bypasses" the 990 processor but that is exactly what you would want to do. This way you would avoid any extra A/D-D/A conversions in the 990 effectively using it as a PreAmp only.
