Correct. I was assured by John Buchanan that the 818v3 does the very best it can for all downstream devices. Plus architecturally, I believe that this has to be the case: the MQA decoder is on the digital input card and the 818v3 will produce output for the analogue, coax, and SpeakerLink outputs simultaneously. I cannot see that it's potentially "triple processing" for different capabilities on different outputs!
Important edit: I believe that the 818v3 *is* triple processing at the output stage, but not at the input stage! In other words, the 818v3 gets the very best it possibly can from the input, then does what it can on the outputs.
