Not much to say other than to quote your own posts. Djones showed quite clearly that yes, changing these setting absolutely will change the measurements. It is right there in the user manual. As opposed to acknowledging that, you are condescending to him. I have no face to save. I stated that there was no way it would measure the same. Djones did the leg work and proved that true.
There is nothing to address that the review said. He said the measurements don’t change. They absolutely do. No one doubts that the changes would be audible (and measurable), except perhaps you.

http://www.10audio.com/marantz_sa-10.htmIThe part where it states: The measurements are the same but the sound quality changes. caught my attention. Is that true? And, if so, how is it explained that something can sound different yet measure the same?
The user can adjust settings for dither to minimize quantization errors, and also choose one of four settings for the Noise Shaper, which changes “linearity and noise characteristics in the audible range using digital feedback. The measurements are the same but the sound quality changes.” Changing the dither and Noise Shaper settings have an audible effect, but were left at the default settings for this evaluation.

All the best,
