I was wondering if anyone has had experience and success. The multi channel input capability on the G68 looks to be limited to 5.1 (i.e 3 multichannel inputs) is there a way to get 7.1 multichannel input capability? For example, if one was to run an OPPO93 with a Vannity93 card installed.

For discreet 7.1 input you need an 861v6 or later

5.1 matrixed to 7.1 is still pretty good though.

How about you use the G68 for 5.1 and put the other two direct into DSPs? Control wouldn't be too good but you can make a number of settings (distance etc) in the Oppo. Hours of fun! (Or go Oppo 105, dual HDMI out, two processors and 11.1). Or get some more ears.

Thanks Fellas - Was hoping for some magical answer. Just seems wierd that all kinds of support/control for 7.1 output but no way to input a 7.1 signal stream.

Not many true 7.1 sources.

It will get better, but only slowly.

At least the HD621 is future-proofed in this respect.

Sooloos, Roon, G series (with LPS upgrade), 800 series (with LPS upgrade), HD621, AC200, Prime and PS, DSPs old and new.

Purdeys, Moke, Leica, 'Blad. Only the best.
