Sorry, you are acting as if they know anything about sound......they don't. The small deviations due to filter implementation cannot be heard. As to distortion.....the high distortion was noted on one channel because it was not properly working. As far as the distortion figures in general.....they are not as low as some because they use less feedback. THEY did this on purpose. You must listen.....to know what sounds best. This module was tweaked by a group of serious audiophiles........to sound great.....not to be the best measuring amp in the world (the only thing ASR wants).
Comments from people who have not listened to something are just that....comments. They have no truth. Truth in audio is what you hear. Did you listen to the amp? How does it sound? That is what I want to know.....and I do know what is sounds like....because I heard it.
Quoting anything from ASR is like quoting someone about space travel when all they have done is drive the the store. They no nothing about sound. They only know how to use a measurement tool.....very sad.
