Started gathering pieces for my system build, and looking at DSPs.

I am leaning towards AudioControl DQ 61.

My concern with this is it only has six channel inputs and out. Since I have to sum the front channels I would lose the fader correct?

My last install I used the Audiocontrol LC8i and that had eight channels, with that I retained all the factory controls but the unit was not a DSP.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Budget for the DSP is $500
