Questions about Crown XLS DriveCore 2 Series of Amps

Hi folks!
Have a few questions specifically on the XLS DriveCore 2 series amps (1502) -

  • Are these amps Full Bridge topology?
  • When XLR & RCA inputs are connected to different sources & playing simultaneously , I am presuming, audio signal from both sources will play out simultaneously. Yes?
  • Is it desirable to keep the mechanical power button in the ON position & use the mains switch to power ON/OFF the amp?
  • Is it ok to frequently switch the amp on/off as and when required? Or should I keep the amp ON for extended period of time?
  • Since the DAC converting the analog in is capped at 48 Khz sampling frequency, will this affect analog content derived from higher frequency sampled source files like 24-Bit/192 Khz. et al?
  • Is there any noticeable EMI radiation that necessitates the use of specialized shielding cables?

Thanks for taking the time out guys!

    I'd also like to know if two different sources can be connected at the same time on the xlr and rca inputs. I have a stereo system and a hometheater system that shares subwoofers, so I an amp that can take two sources at the same time (not playing at the same time though)
