The MXD6000 forms the heart of a high-end home cinema and audio system and should be used with high quality power amplifiers such as the Myryad MXA 2150, MXA 3150, MXA5150 and MXA 7150 two, three, five and seven channel power amplifiers. The MXD6000 can decode a wide variety of discrete surround material including Dolby Digital1, Dolby Digital Surround EX1, DTS2, DTS-ES Matrix and Discrete2, DTS Neo:6 2 and a proprietary mode "Surround 6. 1" ­ together with the ability to down-mix any source to mono or stereo. It also functions as a high quality stereo preamplifier and any stereo analogue source can be sampled at 48kHz for further digital processing, or at 96kHz for the best sound quality without any further processing.
