Ok so this processor doesn't have SOTA measured performance, but there are a lot of folks proclaiming that this unit is complete and utter garbage and broken, while folks have $50,000 pair of Mark Levinson amps with worse SINAD, and that's completely fine, and audiophile, and high fidelity.
Seriously, people need to get a grip. Certainly, there's a good argument for using a Denon 3700, 6700, or 8500 over this. But .003% SINAD is honestly better than the majority of exorbitantly expensive audiophile monoblock amps that no one seems too concerned about.
Having said that, I agree that this unit does not achieve excellence in measured performance compared to equal and lower priced alternatives in the market place. It would get a hard pass from me. But certainly not due to any audibility issues.
