7k should have the same speaker eq options as other DSPs.

Yes, 880 should be equal to 800 playback of CDs. At least the press release says "the 880 is exactly the same as playing the same track on an 800-series disc player."

The 880 will not rip DVD-A or DVD-V.

It says it will store 750 hours of stereo audio, nearly a 1000 CDs.

Looks like I was wrong about its multizone using RJ45. It seems the multizone is via standard analog or digital cable. (It is always a problem when you are up for 28 hours.) [Linked Image from softronix.com]

You can also get it with analog inputs (has digital as standard.) to archive other sources, like LP. (will need phono input for that.) MSRP is $17-$20k US.

The DSP in wall is called the DSP420. I did not spend much time looking at them. I am not sure how you power them. The MSRP is $5k US.
