I'm about to build a new home and thus am designing a new listening/watching room. I like listening and watching in the comfort of my favorite surrounds. I'd really like to remain on the leading edge in terms of the movie experience and M has been a big supporter of Atmos, though they do not seem to be big implementer. I'm growing tired of waiting myself. I checked around with some of the other brand options and Theta Digital has a nice upgrade path for their top of the line Casablanca. I am completely amenable to sending my 861 in to M to get it upgraded, as Theta requires.

Please M, bring on an path to prevent my unit from becoming obsolete and providing an upgrade that enables MQA, Atmos and DTS-X to be utilized in my Meridian Digital Theater
