Gianni,

I read the 808v6 literature and it describes the DSP speakers as endpoints. So the 818 or 808 that can render will pass via SpeakerLink a good bitstream. The challenge I see, which is unclear in the literatature, is whether the stream can be passed through the 861 and subjected to processing or must be passed through direct. As has been pointed out, processing for MRC and say Trifield are critical to many of us.

Wanting for word from the mothership.
