Will Marantz NR1605 allow L & R bypass in Audyssey?

[KEW]

I am wanting to set up a Hi-Fi 2.2 system and looking for a good pre-amp with proper bass management and DynamicEQ.
I think that this model refurbbed for $330 is about as good as it gets (and the slim form will work well in my bedroom).
One thing I am not sure of is whether it offers Audyssey bypass option, because I would like the choice of only running Audyssey with the subs.

So really two questions:
1) Does it allow Audyssey L&R Bypass
2) Any idea on other options for pre-amp? Wanting DynamicEQ narrows the field quite a bit.

IMO, most of them offer some sort of bypass mode, aka flat, but you'll have to go into a menu somewhere to switch to it usually. If using an analog source, "source direct" on Marantz models bypass bass management though I am not sure if it will also bypass Audessey as well.

According to the manual it does allow L/R bypass, that's as "sure" as it can be. I am looking for similar solution. The Dirac stand alone two channel systems seem to be best but too restrictive and expensive for me.

my nr1504 allows L/R bypass so the more expensive model should too.
