I forget the details (obviously from my prior error). But you can set the player to decode or not decode. If you set it to decode (MHR off) it will limit to sending 24/48 to all 6 channels (DD/DTS is 24/48 anyway so no loss in quality, that is no downsampling). If you set it to not decode it will just pass encoded DD/DTS out.

If I recall correctly it has both and Aux Coax out and the Main Front 2 channels (out the 6) available. I'm not sure if you can have undecoded go out the Aux and Decoded go out the Main. There are settings for each (Aux and MultiChannel Output) but I forget what options are available.

It's really about as flexible and you can get.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
