I really don't know, as you may know I have posted the original DAC board for the 4700 side by side with the supposedly new one more than once on this forum and cautioned that it looked like an 8 channel chip with 48 pins, same as the AK4458. You are now doing the same I did
but the fact is, one member has since use a scope camera to see what the heck it really is and he said it was indeed the rumored PCM5102A. May be those sold in Japan are using the 8 channel DAC ICs, who know, it has been a frustrating exercise for those too curious to get to the bottom of the mystery?
It would be great if our Japanese members could do some investigation for us in Japan, preferable those within driving distance to the Denon or Marantz head office lol....
By the way, if you compare the datasheets, even if it is the PCM1690 (that would contradict with the scope camera's finding), the THD+N of the 1690 is only 1 dB better than the 5102A so there is no way it can measure better than the AVRs that have the AK4458 chips. It's a -107 dB vs -93 dB, a huge gap.
