I am a little confused. I am interested in buying the 990. I want a perfectly clear pass through of analog from both my CDP (tube output) and my phono (SS). Will the 990 apply bass management to the "direct" or "pass through" signal? Please correct me if I am mistaken, but I believe that happens in the digital domain, therefore it cannot be a true bypass, i.e. remaining solely in the analog path. I am going to pause before I buy and wait to get this cleared up. Thanks!
