I have the Sooloos Ensemble hooked up to my 861V4.25!
The Ensemble downconverts all FLAC files to 44.1Khz when using the coax out.
According to my source at Meridian the ID40 card will make the Ensemble output
96Khz /25Bit.

Today my Apple TV into the HD621 by HDMI sound better than the Enesemble
and in my opinion better than my now "thank God " sold 808.2i!

just my 2 cents
