If your using an analog source than digitizing it to engage the DSU, then yes it can very well sound different. I would always tell people use the DSU for digital sources only. The ADCs in most consumer gear tends to be subpar.

The analog bypass issue was thoroughly addressed by top brass at D&M last night on our livestream. Any D&M product with pure direct feature has a true analog bypass. This is how it's always been in my 20+ years of testing their products. https://www.youtube.com/live/yE_k_vzb83A?si=-TOeAecudrX9g5pv

LFE+ Main does NOT route LFE to your mains. It just copies bass from the mains to the sub channel(s). If you've got good integration of the mains set large with the subs, then use LFE+Main. You do get a doubling of bass at common frequencies but Audyssey, if it's working correctly, should...

MartinLogan F100s in January!

Interesting. Does it still engage the subs in 2CH when you do this? I will ask Phil Jones about this on Wednesday's livestream. You should definitely tune in for this one.

Don't hold your breath for that one, unless James Larson wants to wrestle with a 500lbs 6.5' cabinet.

I think the email goes out early this week. I asked Dreamedia to hold off until the winner was announced.

Interesting about the roll off. Most phono preamps I've measured don't do this. I discuss in my YT video that drops today at 12pm. This amp has a linear supply and it looks well built. So I think it will sustain.
