I'm the one (maybe even the only one) who's done the HT bypass on the Gill Alana.
Gill Audio can tailor the Alana to have Balanced and/or Single ended inputs and/or outputs for anything you want by using high end transformers for the conversion SE/Balanced conversion. The Alana itself is single ended.
As mentioned, my Alana passes the HT signal straight through unless it is powered on. When it's powered up, it will play from the other inputs. I hope this provides some clarification as it seems most Alanas are custom configured based on the system it's installed into.
FWIW, David Gill made several changes to my Alana to better match my SS power amps. This made a HUGE improvement to an already very impressive pre. Right now, it's getting updated to the latest spec (I think it's called mk III).
