Atmos requires too many additional amps. 7.2 in my room is way more than enough.

Room correction goes against what makes the SP3 so amazing. The SP3 is about simplicity in the signal path. Not mucking it up with room correction.

The latest DAC can be bought aftermarket. I’m currently upgrading to a Esoteric Grandioso K1. And had a Bryston BDA3 which is a fantastic DAC at its price point. Just run the Bryston in Bypass. DACs change to quickly to worry about them in the processor. And when I use them for home theater it sounds fantastic.

Roon can be done with Bryston’s BDP which is a great product for the price point. I’ll have one for sale on the marketplace shortly.

So no need for a SP4. The SP3 is still kicking ass with just a few extra pieces of gear to stay on the cutting edge of 2 channel.

Just my humble opinion
