As per George's post, you can't use a computer (MConfig) to configure the 568.2 and have volume controlled digital output. If you want to use your external DAC the only configuration available to you is from the front panel and you must use the AAA typing. It's been a few years since I went through the options so I can't remember what settings work but for me 7.1AAA and 5.1AAA worked fine with DVD, maybe 2.0 doesn't work. Your options are limited, but if you have a good enough external DAC it's still worth doing. Earlier this week I sold my external DAC and have gone back to using the 568.2 internal DACs on the L/R channels and am still coming to terms with the drop in quality.
