Is it not the case that the 218 has 'Digital Aux Out'? What is the purpose of that feature?Even so, in an analogue system, would a better MQA result be obtained in utilising 'SpeakerLink Out' on 218 to 'SpeakerLink' on an AC12, then 'Digital Out' to processor?
It will output a digital signal, but not with an MQA signal. That is a requirement of MQA.
In an analog system, you must use the analog out if you want MQA, no exception M equipment or any other manufacturer for analog. The exception is SpeakerLink to M DSP's with SpeakerLink, where the M system is encrypted and the DSP is the SE variety.
