Analog heat active / bypass

Goodmorning!

Question:
is it true that the analog heat does not have a ‘true’ bypass mode?
and that even if not active, this may affect sound quality?

Can’t find anything about this online or in the manual.

If I’ll understand the manual’s internal diagram correctly the bypass signal is bypassing the fx section but the inputlevel and output level stage are both marked with a amplifier icon and dry signal is routed to those no matter what. So it’s definitely not a true bypass.
I might assume Elektron did make use of audiophile opamps in the in and output stage. Would be total garbage if users needed the heat to spice up it’s own circuitry

thanks, I reckoned the same, but still would have preferred relay bypass
