The empeg may not be able to do it alone but the empeg is still very versatile. Would this work? It is probably possible to run a decoded multichannel stream out the ethernet connection to small external hardware that would seperate and preamplify the stream since the empeg lacks the hardware for true multichannel sound. Would work for multichannel or multisource output.

Could be a AC3/DTS module for those that like the idea.
