It was the revelation that you can unfold to 96k, move that around digitally, then complete the decode elsewhere. However, I've changed my mind and am sticking with the 8x8 doing the full decode with rendering only in the SEs.

Interestingly, the SEs may apply the special DAC compensation filter themselves which means that the 8x8 doesn't have to. Implications for older DSPs.
