Thanks Mw,
As a fellow Trifield 7.0 user this is very interesting.
If you play regular redbook or 24/96. Is the analog still better than SL to 861v8 from a 818v3?

I'm just trying to wrap my head around this. smile

BTW interesting note about HS=Y interfering with analog input which should go in as 24/96 straight. Meridian would be interested in this I wager..
