Not wanting to drag the thread off topic - in some ways, 218 replaces and improves on the AC200/MS200 combo but has, for some, missing features which doesn't make it a no-brainer replacement (see discussions passim). It could be used to replace only the MS200, I agree, but this feels a little kludgy to me. That being said, I'm getting to the point where, if there is nothing visible on the horizon, I might well take the plunge and get me some MQA goodness - even if I replace it with a more capable device in the future. I have already made changes elsewhere in the system which mean I no longer require the additional inputs provided by the AC200.

But we digress...

[Postscript - I just noticed that this was my 218th post... The Universe is telling me something]
