If you are using the Anthem DAC via USB from the Lumin, you are sending a digital signal, not analog. Thus the Anthem will only process it once, as a digital signal. You are correct that the Anthem will not, however, be able to decode a MQA signal.
Lumin T2 with Anthem STR preamp signal going through both DACs?
To use bass management with my Anthem STR preamp, I have to convert the analog signal back to digital hence then using the Anthem’s DAC to process the final signal.
So in essence, the signal is being "dac’d" twice ?? That seems detrimental to the signal even with good dacs.
I did not know this had to be done to use subwoofers.
Is that normal and has this just escaped me all this time? Or am I missing something?
Addl info:
-- The setting on the Anthem you must turn on to use subs is in the Input settings and called "Convert Analog 32/192"
-- The subs will not turn on if that setting is "off"
