And frankly I doubt most of the AVRs under ~$5k would enable you to tell the difference anyway. Probably most are converting DSD to LPCM somewhere, certainly if any processing (Audyssey etc.) is used. I would bet not too many mainstream AVRs have a "direct" DSD to DAC to preamp mode. Now you have got me interested in finding out what my (older) Denon AVR does, even though I don't play normally DSD through it (use the BDP-83's DSD->DAC output into a 2ch pre).
