Is there any difference in output quality if I use Multichannel audio output vs. Analog outputs on 2900?
Does 2900 has a separate output stage for Analog and MC outputs?
Currently I have connected both Analog and MC outputs to my receiver so I have total 8 IC's connected.
I would like to reduce the number of IC's

Speakers=>Salk Soundscape 8, Soundscape Center,Surrounds-Dali Rubicon LCR, Lsi7
PreAmp, Amp => Marantz AV8801, ATI 6007 amp, Oppo HA-1 DAC
Source => Sonore MicroRendu, Oppo BDP-103, Mede8er 600XD, Dune HD Smart D1, Synology DS1813+(16TB)
Sub - JTR Captivator S2 (Dual 18")
Power - Furman IT-Ref20i on dedicated 30Amp circuit with Furutech GTX-R outlet
Screen=> JVC RS-45 projector Da-Lite HP 133" 2.35

    I don't know, I think the unit uses different DAC"s in both places but I could be very wrong.
    As usual the best way to decide is listen.
    First use the cd input for the 2 channel analog out, then setup the external in to another input. This is so you can switch on the fly and hear the difference instantly. Make sure your using all the same interconnects so no difference is there. If the 2 channel analog sounds better playing cd's then leave it alone and be Effed with the wires, if it sounds the same or better on the multichannel input , then scrap the 2 channel and listen to it there.
