WS, welcome. Don't be concerned with distortion specs, either THD or IMD(rarely even specified). As Rick pointed out, the THD numbers you mentioned are all far below audibility. For example, blind listening tests have shown that THD has to be above about 1% to be audible when listening to music(rather than test-tones using headphones). Just about any modern solid state equipment amplifies transparently when operated within its designed limits.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
