I have both the 2 ch and 5.1 ch analog connected (probably redundant in most ways). I know that when you select Multi Ch, the receiver doesn't apply any processing. Similarly I found that when using the CD input (2 ch from the 79), in standard and Direct modes, the 96 kHz rate was displayed. In Pure Direct it does not. I guess the only way the 01 won't convert back to digital is in Multi Ch or Pure Direct Modes.

Thanks for the help.
