After 10 years of 568.1 ownership, I am reluctant to admit that I've never created or used custom Types in mconfig.

Recently, I've made the decision to do some A/B comparison in my system at home, comparing my DSP5k/c setup against an analog setup using my Meridian 558 and B&W Matrix 804/HTM speakers, as well as some DIY Audax Joe D'Appolito speakers.

Since going all digital a couple years back, I've never gone backwards to really determine if going digital was "better" or not than what I'd previously been using.

I think I can use Types to make this comparison pretty easy and straightforward. My thought is to have 2 types, one for the digital setup and one for the analog setup, each with their own calibration settings and all. Then, I would be able to switch back and forth between digital and analog by simply changing Types via the front-panel of the 568.

Am I thinking correctly about how Types work in the processors?

Thanks much,

Dan
