I have it in the same rack as the MC600. Right now I'm using it with 861v4 with linear power supply, 5000s and 5200HC.

However, it occurred to me that because I ran cable through the walls from the MC600 to each of my other systems, one advantage of keeping it near the MC600 is that a cable swap in the back of the 818 enables me to run it to each of my other zones without having to move the 818.

I have legacy equipment, so I realize that for MQA I am limited to only the first unfold. At some point it would be great to add a set of special edition DSPs! I am listening to MQA on Tidal now.
