Martin,

"Thanks for that, the MC-1 would have no bass management it would seem."

Not in the unit itself. However if you mod something like the BD83 you can use its bass management/time alignment on the SPDIF outputs.

I believe the Denons did allow processing on its 4x input. One of the models that could do this was the AVC-A1SE for example.

Glad you enjoyed the bypass kits.
