You can't disable the AL24 processing with setup. It has to be disabled physically.

DSD is usually 6db lower level than PCM due to its processing. This is the reason PCM attenuation is needed. Most universal and SACD players CD resolution is 15 bit because of that. There are other solutions achieving full 16 bit resolution using other techniques. One is DSD to PCM conversion or PCM to DSD conversion. Some players change the gain in the analog domain after the DACs.

Denon players attenuate PCM in the digital domain. This can also be disabled. :-)
