From http://www.Meridian-audio.info/public/861v4jk[426].pdf : Starting with the v1, dual Motorola
processors were employed to provide all
necessary compute functions. With 861v3,
two additional latest generation Motorola
56367 DSPs (C+D) were added to the system.
With the 861v4 upgrade, processors
A+B were replaced with processors E+F,
and another pair of 56367s were installed
bringing the available raw DSP power to 600
MIPs. The digital receiver card also contains
another 150 MIPs, used for initial processing,
such as upsampling of a PCM input.... For owners of 861v3, the
upgrade to v4 is quite reasonable, with an
MSRP of $750. The big change for v4 is the
(previously mentioned) E+F DSP Cards and
software, which allows for the use of MRC.Reading, can i say that a 861V3 sound quality is exactly the same of a 861V4 not using MRC ? Serge.

Thanks MI' So, The upgrade from V3 to V4 is no longer avalaible Serge. I just had a v3 upgraded to v4 a couple months ago, so it is still available, at least in the US and I assume elsewhere. It cost approx. $1,500.
Main system (when room is done): 861v4, 7 x DSP33, SW1600, Oppo, Sonos

$1500 ???  For owners of 861v3, the upgrade to v4 is quite reasonable, with an
MSRP of $750.It was the price listed in the widescreen review in 2004. And after this upgrade, have you heard a big sound quality difference without using MRC ? Serge.

That sounds high for a V3 and I think V4 has been out longer than 4 years. Unless you mean it was a V3 and was upgraded to V4 forur years ago?

The father bought the original 861 and the son, who is the actual seller, bought it to its father 4 years ago. (its 861V3 version) In the 861, there is the following cards: - IA00 - IE42 - ID30 - VS00 - OA13 - OA03 Which price do you believe to be a fair price ? Serge.

If you need analog, the OA13 cards are very good to have and very expensive ($1200.00 USD or more per card).
I don't know a fair price any more.
There is a V4 on audiogon listed for $5000.00 USD with TWO OA13's and IA45 (that's like $3600 right there just for those 3 cards).
