No need to contact Marantz just read the manual.
I assumed Marantz means the bit rate/ Hertz [24/192 ] stays the same when they use the term measurements. If not then I have no idea what they are talking about since they say in their literature the SNR improves using certain settings and the last one up to 5khz. Perhaps you can contact Marantz and ask them how they know the SNR changes without measuring it? And since it changes how are the measurements the same?
Improves linearity and noise characteristics in the audible
range using digital feedback. The following degrees and
methods can be set. The measurements are the same but the
sound quality changes. Set as desired.
3rd-1
(Default):
This is the best compromise
between highest signal to noise
ratio and most open and detailed
sound stage.
3rd-0:
This gives high SNR for natural
instruments but may reduce some
resolution.
4th-1:
4th order improves the SNR but this
cost resolution in sound stage.
Highest possible dynamics for
wideband music content in this
setting.
4th-0:
Even higher SNR but only up to 5
kHz. This gives highest possible
dynamics for natural instruments
and voices.
