Emotiva XPA Gen3

[Silverfoxvtx]

Hello Everyone,
I am looking at the Emotiva XPA Gen3 amp.....I was looking at the owners manual and it says this....Do not connect a digital signal to the inputs of your XPA Gen3 ( or you may damage it or your speakers)
I know this is a dumb question so be kind lol.....So if I hook up to my Yamaha RX A2060 to the amp am I getting a digital signal or is the receiver taking care of it before it goes to the amp? Isn't Comcast sending a digital signal and my Apple TV has a Dolby Digital 5.1 and stereo format.....
On a side note anyone with a Yamaha Aventage receiver what's the trick to getting good music sound....I have tried everything it has only so so not bad music sound would like great sound...I mainly use Apple and online streaming music....
Yamaha RX-A2060 ( killer deal from Video Only)

As long as you use the appropriate pre-outs on the avr to the amp not an issue as to what a dac does; amps are analog as are your speakers...be interesting how you might connect a digital signal, tho

Thanks.......Lovinthehd

No problem, not sure why you think you need the Emotiva amp, tho

Seems like when I have everything going...all 7 speakers the front speakers are struggling a little...

Could be more the speakers and level than the amp particularly.

So would a amp help the front speakers....the Klipsch have a sensitivity 101db @2.83 v/1m
A clock radio should power them....

Also they are rated 250w to 1000w

SPL level at what distance from the speakers? You're scaring me

The best standard is to use the ears...
