like the title says...i already have the 8051.i am running it in combination with a crossfire cfq 5.2.the only reason i want the 860mp or the bremen is because of the 24 bit dac and the auto eq/time alignment features.my wife is planning on buying the 860 mp for me from etronics with the 5 year extended warranty for around $440 shipped.if she does this then i could sell the 8051/cfq 5.2 and buy a bigger amp and get a vented enclosure built for my eD's,put my 2150sx on my mids,and my monitor 1 amp on my tweets and run active.i could also trade the 8051/cfq 5.2 for another sub amp,or an 860mp,take the money i was gonna' spend on the new hu and get better comps and my box built.on the other hand i could just keep everything i have and buy a bigger amp and veted box.i guess what i'm asking is...is it going to be worth it to get rid of the 8051 for the 860mp or bremen,or should i just keep it and conentrate on the rest of the system.what would you guys do?

Terry, you should look at the McIntosh MX4000 then...sucker plays beautifully...but very low on the features. does have dual 20bit burr-brown DAC's in a separate box connected with an umbilical line.
