In case there was some confusion, I meant the Outlaw products I listed perform their BM completely in the analog domain without performing an ADC step on the incoming analog signal. Of course, this limited them to a fixed crossover frequency as well. I can't remember if they could do any delay processing to the analog multichannel signals when using the analog crossover.
I would guess your Pioneer does an ADC step to redigitize the analog signals before applying any processing. It probably also provides the option to disable processing, leaving the signal analog from input to amp. Once digitized, the full processing power available in the receiver can be applied if the manufacturer so wishes. The Sherwood-Newcastle R965/P965 and clones (Outlaw 990, Boston Acoustics, Sherbourn?, Atlantic Technology) also implemented MCH processing this way. I'm sure there are other units that use a similar digital method, but I can't claim to have looked at every prepro or potential receiver-as-prepro on the market and my in depth research is usually limited to units that street for $1200 or less.
