Hi,

If you want MQA now ... you will need an 8x8 and also to upgrade your DSP's to SE spec. However there will be an 861 upgrade in due course but I have no idea when it will be available.

MQA = Patience ... wink

Regards,
Carl

PS No need to change connections if connected like this:
861 --> 818 --> DSP
But the 861's config should be adjusted to allow for an extra 3.5ms of latency due to the 818 being in the signal path.

PSS DSP8000SEHC must be a typo and it should be DSP8000SEVC
