OK no worries. I still recommend to level match the sub channels first as it looks like you missed that initial step. Genesis is usually really very good at bass management. Two subs are tricky on opposing walls, they may need to be 180 degrees out of phase from each other. It may work better if...

I would recommend you bring the gain on sub channels up at least 3db on the sub1 and at least 6 db up on sub2 on the amp, probably just 1 and 2 clicks. You want the initial target level to be closer or just above to 70db target at 50hz before you measure them with the Anthem. ARG Genesis does a...

You could try to run a ground wire between the two units grounding screws, but I experienced the same issue with different amp and using RCA to XLR adapter solved it

I was more interested in see if it would be more useful as a DAC not a power amp

Is it possible to see measurements in 'bypass' or as HT fixed-level inputs?

It looks good on paper and in the tests. Monoprice has an newer DAC and measures well and has a good warranty and minimalistic build. It does have a SMPS power supply where the Anthem has a torodial. Dirac Live Bass Control is not included, and you must buy your own calibration microphone, so...

Looks like a good baseline for performance. Would be intersting to see what the performance delta is when you enable room correction on processors / AVR's included in the reviews.

Can we see the analog input performance, phono input? Also possibly the unbalance preamp out?

How about preamp output squarewave response testing?

It has a lot to do with what they are. The devil is in the details. All of the components matter when it comes to audio path. A DAC alone is not simple to implement. Each AV section is not impossbile to implement cleanly on its own. However add a single large power supply, video processing...

I don't know for sure, but I believe they did it for a reason. There are complex mathematics/processing required to take a digital or analog waveform in hardware or software and apply DSP correction to each channel regardless of the manufacture or room correction software. The DSP is also...

You have to use professional mode in Genesis and set the max correction from default of 5K to your desired setting in say profile 1 of 350hz or lower 200hz is the lowest. You have to deduct about about 6db from each channel in the level setup in a second profile to get the level matched vs room...

Just not enough information. Is it just a lack of thorough testing? Why did the owner send it to a service center for testing before sending it here? How's this for a possible conclusion, dissatisfied consumer abusing free testing to escalate a customer satisfaction issue? Is shipping damage to...

I'm just a fool, I still can't figure out why one would go with a Denon AVR-X3600H? Placebo response?

I’m comfortable saying sound is subjective and when it comes to our differences in perception. What's funny to me how many look at these measurements in absolute terms when they shouldn’t always. Someone commented earlier that they took this unit off their wish list based on this review since...

Thanks for the update. Interesting news. I hope there is a simple resolution to get to the bottom of this so you do not have to send it back for service. Don't be discouraged by the review or SINAD etc., the AVM60 is an awesome unit and it has superior sound potential.

To measure Anthem inputs like a "DAC" in the digital domain you would want to turn ARC(Anthem Room Correction) to "OFF" in the input setup. It defaults to ON which processes signals (downsamples the signal sample and bit rate for their room correction to reduce clipping and create more headroom)...

Cleary as I pointed out something is not right as the entry level MRX520 outperformed the flagship AVM60 per SINAD. I'm surprised it took so long and no one caught on, as the review mentioned the MRX1120 which is their top AVR scored higher. Hopefully over time many vendors will publish their...
