These two types of consumers are a contradiction to each other.
One wants low noise, the other adds noise and ruins the music.
Been there and done that with expensive high end integrated preamp-processors used for two channel audio and hi-fi home theater. Adding a "direct" bypass button just adds more junk in the circuitry, noise. A well known audio company who started with 2ch audio eventually went out of business trying to keep both types of customers happy, software and firmware upgrades, bleh.
Buy a sound bar, be done.
