Hi everyone, I'm new to the group and the 976. Was wondering since everything except the 7.1 inputs are digitized does the 976 up sample everything to 24 bit/192kHz? I had been using a Nuforce APV-17 and listening to analogue out of a Bluesound Node2 with all Transparent cabling. I really like the sound I have now with the 976, BUT wonder what I'm loosing by not having the MQA from the Node2? What would be the difference if any between the coax out from the Node2 compared to the analogue outs since they both end up coming out of the 976 DAC's?

If the analogue signal is MQA going into the 976 is that down or up sampled when it comes through? I can't find any information just searching the web so looking for real world knowlage before having to call Outlaw although that may be the easy route, I'm sure others wondering would like to find the answer here searching.
Thanks!
