Priz, if you have evidence of that, file a formal complaint with the FTC, because it would be a violation of the regulations. All receiver/amplifiers sold in the U.S. have to meet the power rating resulting from the test method in the FTC regs.

The player does the digital-analog conversion when feeding the analog inputs of the receiver. The user can of course apply tone controls or other processing of his choice.
