Unfortunately, you can't do that or you lose MQA by passing it through the processor. For MQA, you need G65 > 210 > 218 > DSP's. Presumably anything downstream of the G65 is 'secure' with regard to MQA. As the 218 involves some additional delay on the front speakers, the speaker distances need to be adjusted to compensate.

I don't know if the 210 causes any additional delays (if that's in 'series') but there has been no mention of this, so I suspect not, but I'd need someone who knows a lot more than I do to confirm!

I'd wondered if the recent 3.16(?) firmware on the speakers, would allow MQA into the coax input on the speakers in which case you could run the two in parallel (i.e. effectively two systems _ G65 > DSP's SL* inputs and 210 > 218 > DSP's Coax* input) but I'm not sure if the 210 and 218 output MQA on their coax outputs.

(*or other way around).
