I think you would use a reviver or AC12 as a converter. Why not just use SPDIF 2 input if 218 to non speakerlink DSPs? 861 SL out to 218 SL in routes 861 PCM to 218 for unfold up to 96k/88k then to DSPs. To me in parallel would have a separate route from 861 directly to the other DSP input.

OK i was not clear in my post sins my, DSP8000.2 are SL versions. Would I go from the 218 to my speakers via SL then?
How would I make sure that the 861 would not apply RC on the pcm output?

@NextMac
I think you'll have the same setup as me :-
Currently, my Roon (or Sooloos) feed goes into my ID41.
That can stay....
I have home-run wiring to my front 3 speakers, which means a dedicated LAN cable to each one individually.
From memory, these are Master / Slave / Centre.
When I get my 218, I will remove the Master & Slave cables.
I will then connect the 861 Master-SL-out to the 218 SL-in.
I will connect the 218 SL-out to my Master-Speaker SL-in.
I will connect the Master-Speaker SL-out to the Slave-Speaker SL-in.
And finally, I'll connect a completely separate cable from my LAN to the 218 network-in.
Hopefully, then, Roon will see the 218 as an endpoint & I can control the volume with Roon, or with my MSR+ which is 'pointing at' the Master-Speaker.
Anyway, that's how I understand the theory - I hope it works !
