a conundrum.. I have a sunfire TGIII and a denon 5900... both have a 'source direct' bypass option which eliminates all digital circuitry from the path. I have a descent as well. I have to either have the denon handle the bass mgmt (turning source direct off) or handle it in the processor - in which case I have to do the same with the Processor. My perfect setup would be to have both player and processor set to bypass the digital circuitry - but still keep the sub on. Any opinions on what the best option might be? thx. tim
