Near Atlanta, GA but not too near!
I am ONLY selling to be able to experiment with 9.X.6 discrete channels (or higher). I am blown away by everything the Datasat processor does. I am not yet convinced that 9.X.6 on a different processor (regardless of it's name, reputation or price) will actually get me any improvement in overall sound quality nor, envelopment. But I won’t know without trying (yes, I’m am addict). If I had any reason to believe that Datasat would provide a 9.X.6 ability in the next 6 months, I would never sell this unit – and only hope I am not making a huge mistake.

If you want the very best 7.X.4 home theater and/or multi-channel music room, this is the unit for you:

- Includes on site Dirac Calibration (in the Continental US)

- Original Owner

- Excellent condition

- Rack mount ears included

- Have original factory shipping boxes

- Includes Dolby Atmos, Auro and DTS:X capabilities

- Includes most up-to-date (September 2017) HDMI card (HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2) with four (4) 4K/HDR inputs and 1 output. MSRP of $1100

- Includes (2) extra length Analog Cable Assembly, RS20i Analog audio out, to (16) XLR, 2 meters. MSRP of about $800.00

- Includes (2) 8-channel Digital-In Cables (XLR). These cables are the only way to get access to all 16 channels for inputting signal sweeps for testing. MSRP $644.00

- Up to 10 instantly accessible stored Dirac filters. Too much flexibility to list on this page [e.g. pre and post Dirac PEQs; multiple options for handling the LFE channel(s)]

- MSRP well in excess of $27,000 (Hardware + Calibration)

- Price including all of the above: $16,600

- If interested in performing Dirac calibration yourself, add $1700 for Dirac 2 software, calibrated microphone, mic preamp and (used) Apple MacBook Air laptop computer on which the Dirac 2 software is loaded.

NOTE: I will be away from my home for 2 to 3 weeks so will not be able to ship until I return.
