@User_22 Those faulty transistors that you are attributing to the L sided distortion--how do you know the problem is due to the transistors and can you replace them in your machine? Or if new enough maybe it's good for warranty?
Are there any other interesting measurements you're planning?
Did you ever figure out what happened to All Zone Stereo with your device? I suspect Denon took the feature away. You could try toggling that "Stereo Receiver" vs "TV Audio" setting I mention in Post 226, although I suspect since you were measuring from the speaker post that the setting was already "Stereo Receiver" (All Zone Stereo is an option) and not "TV Audio" (All Zone Stereo is not available as an option).
Can you explain why your initial measurement (post 200) at the Z2 pre-out was downstream the PCM5100A (coaxial digital, CD in Main Zone, Z2 source as SOURCE, DIRECT Mode), whereas later you had the same settings and found that it was PCM1690 (post 228)? It would be good to confirm in a post that under these settings you consistently find PCM1690--rather than PCM5100A--upstream of the Z2 pre out, or at least that the SINAD is consistent so you don't have to repeatedly contact the DAC IC analog out pin.
Thanks for these great posts.
