They can call it the Trojan Horse Edition. 💸for nothing and the chicks are free.

I'm not saying you can't bypass MRC or even EBA; I'm saying that I don't want to.

I have the 861 because I need the MRC to control a couple of boundary standing waves in my well-treated room. Without controlling the bass with MRC, I get some blooming that masks the lower mid range. I'm sure many people have this issue. So, unless you have been able to control the bass region with treatments, you have to give up good bass to hear MQA? It seems to me that we shouldn't be in a position to have to make that compromise.

And what about EBA? IIRC, it came out of all the MQA research so it should work. But, it messes with the bits so maybe it shouldn't work.

Bill,

Sorry for my bad English, I only want to say that M can make a intermediate solution until the final solution is ready.

Of course I also want what I had paid for and not loose functions.

I hear you, Robert. Thanks.

My interim solution will be my Prime Headphone Amp into the analog input on the 861v8. I tried it last week and it was quite pleasing.

Ludwig, they found a solution which is to use the AC12 to convert the SpeakerLink output for the LR master into digital coax and then use the same input (D2) in the master speaker as you have mentioned.
So yes, this seems to be the option - to have two units running in parallel.
