In order for the ADC to be engaged and me not see it, Fs would have to be 192kHz. I doubt Marantz is employing 192kHz ADCs and still I would have likely seen a rise in noisefloor. I sent this thread to the designer of the AV 10 to get his input. Regardless, from my measurements, the Analog...

I'm sorry but that is wrong. My measurements prove the AV 10 have a true analog bypass. The analog inputs to output path are flat to 80kHz, the limit of my test gear. If there was an ADC conversion, you would see a sharp rolloff at 1/2 Nyquist frequency. That's not happening here.

The AV 10 absolutely has an analog bypass. Most Denon and Marantz top shelf stuff does and has for years.

They cancelled it due to my bench tests and findings. I commend Monoprice for NOT bringing it to market.

I had a Lexus IS350F before I got my M240i. While I love the comfort of the Lexus, the BMW just drives so much sportier. I also just got an X5 for the family SUV and I prefer how it rides compared to the Lexus RX350. I don't see another Lexus in my near future.

Absolutely if you can still buy Mediette cabinets. The Decimos are best in small rooms especially when used without a sub. The Mediette's have output and dynamic advantages and the MTM arrangement helps to limit vertical dispersion.

Yes our channel partner Audio Advice is promoting them for $1,925/ea right now. That's a great deal on a fantastic set of speakers. Here is my demo experience at the AA Live show of 2022:

Having owned and compared both pairs of these speakers for many years, I can speak from intimate experience. The Decimos came first. I gave RBH the idea of putting Status drivers in Signature cabinets as a way to get the cost down so that I could afford to buy the 1266-SE/R which was half the...

Trinnov has the power supply advantage but it's very pricey. I really like the Amp10 and think it's a good value. I have mine bridged powering Perlisten S7ts fullrange and it does a commendable job. The amp is low noise and transparent.
