Q
Is the audio out in digital or analog?

My Yamaha receiver book says I can also use the ipod dock for a Bluetooth wireless audio receiver. Because of that I would expect it to be all digital.

I don't know if the output of the iphone or ipad into the YDS-12 is analog or digital. My best guess would be digital, with the conversion happening in the amp.
