Anyone know? I wanted to be able to switch between a receiver & speakers over a digital spdif connection and have a separate tube amp hooked up to analog for dedicated headphone use.
I have an AV-710 right now that can do both if I switch to 'Hi Sample Rate Mode' but then it resamples DTS & DD instead of letting the receiver decode the raw streams. Basically making the receiver useless since the soundcard is resampling everything.
Basically I wanted to have a pure digital connection to my receiver (no resampling, no DSP or anything. Raw DTS & DD streams from DVDs.) and a pure analog connection to go straight to the tubeamp for dedicated headphone use. I wanted both to be able to work simultaneously so I can switch between speakers and headphones without having to go through any complex procedure. Again I wanted to clarify that I don't want any resampling over digital. I want to receiver to decode a raw signal by itself without any resampling from the soundcard.
Anyone know if the Auzentech Prelude can do this or if any sound card can do this?
I know I could buy a dac and split the digital connection but I just can't justify $500-$1000 for one.
