JBL and HK have Logic 7 because they and Lexicon are all part of the Harman International group. I very much doubt that the Cirrus chip does the L7 decoding -- that code is proprietary to Lexicon and they have not shown any interest in licensing it outside their group. Interestingly it appears as though the new Mark Levinson processor ($40K) will not have L7 even though it was originally on the feature list.
I dhoubt whether anything Cirrus can produce will come close to L7 -- that code has been revised, tweaked, and tested for years and, IMHO, is about as good as it gets. OK I am a biased MC-12B owner, but every time I switch that thing on, it amazes me.
