Denon AVR Analogue input bypass its DAC?

Hi, going along with a saying “There is no such thing as a stupid question”…:grin::grin:

Does the Denon AVRs, in particular the 8500 and 4500, bypass its own DAC when handling analogue inputs?

Thanks

I think yes, I have analogue signal into the 8500 and i select the yellow button (pure), only the L R channels and subwoofers activated. sound pretty good.
