The 8802A recently had the DTS:X upgrade to complement Atmos. The allows the use of the Neural:X algorithm which brings into play the height speakers (4 in my case) for standard DTS HD material. It’s very effective.

I don’t think the 8802A is too far behind the 861v8 for standard DTS HD material. When you bring in the height speakers via Neural:X, the 8802 completely wipes the floor with anything the 861 can do.
