Eq on analog input

[nichop]

If I activate the graphic equaliser on an analogue input stream, does this trigger an analogue to digital conversion?

Thanks

there is conversion in all cases...

So there is no way to send an analogue signal straight through to the amp?

 

[canard]

the signal ana is numerised in input..clearer? A/D...

Sorry canard, dont know what "is numerised in input" means

 

[nichop]

I see now I have gotten confused. All signals coming INTO the wiim are digital, so if the graphic equaliser is used will the signal be coverted to analogue and back to digital if the optical output is selected?

The analog input is always digitised.

Hi,
I am no expert but it seems unlikely that Wiim would turn a digital signal (which it would be for the equaliser to work) into analogue, then back into digital to send a digital signal down an optical pipe. I imagine that for cost purposes alone the number of such conversions would be minimised.
Perhaps someone with more detailed info will put us right!

Simple!

Analog input is converted to digital.
All EQ and volume control is done digitally.
Analog output is converted from digital.

You certainly seem confused now.How can ALL signals coming into the WiiM be digital. Your post was about an analog input. The analogy input is passed through an A/D converter to allow digital volume and EQ.

Indeed. Also why does autocorrect keep randomly changing analog to analogy?

 

[nichop]

Thank you all for your input. I have got it straight now.

It probably does so to remind you that the proper British spelling is analogue ...

Maybe you should just abbreviate it to “anal.” (and occasionally intentionally forget the period... ).

I am never sure which to use, like program or programme. In that case I reckon you have Computer programs but Television programmes

Yeah, I try to reserve “program” for software and programme for everything else. And “disc” not “disk”

I also tend to think that American English spelling is the way it is because the Mayflower Pilgrims threw what they saw as unnecessary letters overboard to keep the cargo weight down

Don't take away my personal little pleasure of posting in American German English on ASR and British German English here.

The difference mainly manifesting in "analogue/analog", "programme/program", "valves/tubes" and "favourites/favorites" (since we don't talk much about "tyres/tires" here).

Fun fact: OED and Merriam-Webster agree on the spelling of "hard disk". But no matter what, Americans will never win the war on "aluminium/aluminum"!!!

@nichop, I hope you don't mind some unrelated nonsense, now your question has been answered.

Then you find something like this
