It's part of the SPDIF data stream, and if you want to call it "auto-sensing" you can. How specific do you want to get?

The trouble is that I don't believe there is a way to set digital gain on a per-source basis where you know that the source is not coming out at 0dBFS. This is particularly true of satellite boxes where, for instance, you might want to set up separate phantom sources for listening to TV or radio stations with slightly different gains.
You don't want every source coming out at 0dBFS all the time. That would be quite loud constantly. Of course then, you wouldn't need to worry about having M kit, any old hifi would do.

Using phantoms for multipe TV and radio stations becomes problematic fairly quickly as well due to the limited number of definable inputs.

So perhaps a G18 is not needed; just the ability to boost the per-source gain of all inputs?
If it's an analog source, then you can set the sensitivity, but you have to be careful with that or you could end up going into an overload situation.
