Maybe the DAC and other analog features are better inside the 861v6 vs the G68. So maybe the 861v6 will sound better for analog I/O.

But if the path is completely digital (HD621 -> pre/pro -> DSP5200), what benefit does the 861v6 have over the G68?

Maybe apodizing? But apodizing is already available in the HD621 and/or the DSP5200.
