I guess I am missing something. I thought the entire purpose of 9.x or 11.x was to convert a smaller number of discrete via processing into a 9.x or an 11.x output. It would seem that if you only have 8 DACs and one is for the sub, then at most you are getting is 7 channels with no wide or height processing occuring.
