I thought the 6 channel input bypassed all of the digital stuff and only goes through an analog xover controlled by the toggle switch? While using this setup I can still adjust the tone controls, the balance on the speakers, and the various other adjustments. None of these features work when I only use the stereo input with the bypass feature enabled. Also I notice the stereo input with bypass on also sounds cleaner? I guess what I want to know is if the 6 channel input goes through a a/d converter then a d/a to do this or what? Is this really a pure analog bypass like the stereo inputs in bypass?
