MARANTZ - PM7005 analog and digital circuits as advertised.

So I was kind of drooling over this integrated because of the DAC and connectivity and while reading it mentions that when using the built in phono stage it "shuts off" the digital input and uses the "analog side" so to speak. Or vice versa, which sounds good however if I use my lounge instead of the built in phono stage I would connect it to another input which would theoretically be on the digital input side right? So would this analog to digital switching be useless are you better off using their built in phono stage because they separate the analog and digital signals supposedly ? As opposed to running my lounge into the digital side? or is this all BS advertising mumbo jumbo that really means nothing?

I did not know these were buttons you could turn these features off and on with !
