Yeah, you could do that, but what about setting individual speaker levels?
How does this processor control levels in the digital domain anyway?
Does it reduce the digital output?
Meridian works because it keeps the digital signal full, and the comms simply tells the speakers what levels, EQ and gain to go to.

Does this help?
This would be the best solution, write some code and build a box to get them talking.
But again, back to the issue of having to find out what the processor does and doesn't do on its digital outs.

No Darling, I've had it months!
