My intention with this thread was to discuss the merits of Multichannel MQA.

Could it be effectively streamed?

Would MCH-MQA have increased audio performance as well compared to multichannel DSD/DXD/FLAC/DTS-HD/DTS:X/Dolby Atmos?

As for the discussion of the 861v9 product, see the relevant anticpation thread smile

OT:To stay relevant in the home installation arena they need to adopt the usual suspects "Immersive Sound" codecs Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

But you also need some nice virtual speaker mappings algorithms in order to make an effective Immersive Sound "Bubble" as well as cater for the different speaker placements in the consumer Immersive Sound codecs.

So as for multichannel processor capabilities the bar has risen quite dramatically with the introduction of the Trinnov Altitude 32 in the Premium Home-Cinema installation market and the 861vX need to adapt.
