@deep_333 Not at all! Many units out there give you the ability to adjust delay. The Aussies call it launch time. These include units by DEQX, Anthem, MiniDSP and Trinnov. It is an absolute necessity for sub integration.
@mijostyn , Most of these brands you cited are used by the multichannel guys and the ones who tinker with pro hardware primarily (no stranger to those). I was referring to more purist brands like, say..Esoteric, D’Agostino, Denafrips, Luxman, Schiit, etc who have a inability to provide an independent channel delay on their dacs/linestage or whatever... to delay any channel by how much ever the hell i want. They are so pure that everything will get executed magically for the guys who bought it apparently.
