On the NR question, at least Pentax does still allow the user control. You have 6 settings to choose from:
Auto NR, NR Off, Low NR, Medium NR, High NR (these are faily self explanatory)
Custom, which allows you to specify the NR setting per ISO which should allow a user to see if they can improve on Pentax's own settings or if they believe that the Raw convertor they use has better NR for the image they are trying to create. I don't know which setting DXO used to test. Maybe Photozone can test this when they review the K-5 in a lab environment.

These NR settings ONLY apply to jpegs. Whatever NR setting you select, the RAW files will be exactly the same.
As DXO analyzes RAW files, it does not matter.
