So it seems pointless in going this route then I guess, if I want the lossless through HDMI I can get a modern receiver with the same power as my Marantz for cheaper. Or maybe I can do something externally for bass management, because there is a big difference in bass signals when I switch from analog to my fiber optic...even though I balanced the levels of all 6. It does bother me that the bass lacks when Im getting uncompressed, but maybe the whole uncompressed thing is overrated. In most tracks I hear very little difference, which is why I wondered if maybe Im missing something not supplying more power.
