You might want to take into consideration the fact that SAM is altering the acoustic phase. Not sure if I already published this graph. In blue, the acoustic phase at the listening position with SAM off, in red with SAM on.

Having a Ref-10 syncing a Mutec MC-3+ USB, I still have SAM on since I am correcting the acoustic phase.
