At the heart of the MC-8 are four Analogue Devices SHARC digital signal processing engines, one Cirrus Logic DSP engine, and per output 24-bit/192kHz digital-to-analogue converters - an architecture that is nearly identical to the MC-12. As a result, the MC-12 and MC-8 share the same tremendous processing power and characteristics. The MC-8 includes THX Ultra2 certification and dts 96/24 decoding, rounding out its impressive list of playback technologies: Dolby Digital EX, Pro-Logic II, dts-ES, dts Neo:6, and Logic 7.
