Hi Ronnie,
The DACs for the analogue output are fed directly from the digital output that is influenced in resolution by the 'X1, X2 and Direct' selection.
So this has implications for analogue output users...
The X2 digital output needs to be selelcted to benefit from apodising and upsampling before this high res digital signal is fed to the DACS.
I've not tried this but it appears that the MS600 will sound at its best from its analogue outputs with the digital X2 box checked.
Not immediately obvious I'll admit.

Hi Ronnie,
Right, as you were...
Apologies, Completey ignore my previous post!
I've now found out that I had this all wrong.
There are in fact two seperate internal DSP paths, one for each of the analogue and digital signals.
The Analogue DSP will always run the same as the 'x2 setting'; upsampling and apodising 16/44, allowing 88 or 96 straight through and so always feeding high resolution into the DACs.
The digital output settings of 'x1, x2 and direct' have no influence on the Analogue DSP path.
So the digital output settings won't affect the analogue performance at all.Sorry for the confusion!
