Extract it and pass it to what? They don't have a processor that could handle it. The additional channels would probably require a speaker to be hooked up to the UHD722 (good luck for those using non-DSP speakers). This would also probably break controls (8 channels via 861 / 6 via G65 and the rest via the UHD722?).

They need a new processor to handle the new codecs and give up the "it has to be decoded in the source" approach. Don't get me wrong, I'm with you on this, but I can't see it happening without a new processor and a UHD722 replacement if they stick to two separate boxes.
