Total speculation on my part, but it seems "logical".
I was told last February that the new 808 would bring improved sound to CD replay.
This is correct. I heard that the upsampling in the 818v3/808v6 is completely new and comes directly out of the MQA research of the past 5 years. It's going to be a big deal for replay of standard definition material too.

Patience, friends! It will be worth it!
