JRiver x64 + madVR: Wrong Video Levels [Solved]

@henkeli
These settings are wrong.
You are doing a double conversion on the signal.
The correct setting, to solve your problem, and without conversion (the same one that I use) is this:
madVR: 16-235, 8bit (try with 10bit, if you notice banding problems or blacks crushed or other, set 8bit, you will not notice differences)
GPU: 0-255 Full RGB
PJ: HDMI Standard or Limited

Double converted, gasp. Nooooooo not the heckin' pixelinos!!!
But seriously, I did try what you are saying in setting madVR to 16-235 and still had the same problems. My best guess is that the AVR does not like RGB input. The PJ can handle RGB-Video (as well as Component) but always defaults to expanded 0-255 range even though madVR is in limited. I set the AVR to bypass and that solved the shadow crush but introduced more issues like removing the AVR settings video overlay and for some reason introducing speaker audio popping upon movie stop. I figure there's a good reason that the Radeon SW auto-senses YCbCr when it probes the HDMI link.
To be clear, madVR is offering a warning against setting the GPU to limited or YCbCr. They are not saying it is "wrong." Since I do not have any of the potential color artifacts on my rig, I would consider my settings to be "the right way for me."
I even do more processing on the AVR because I really like its ISF-Day picture mode. For a PJ it gives me the right amount of shadow detail. So I'm stepping all over the precious pixels but I just don't care. I prefer my rig to function like a store-bought appliance.

Through the AVR, make a further change to the signal (the third), avoid this by using the two HDMI outputs on the VGA (if present), one directed to the PJ and the other to the AVR.
