    Upgrade RSP-1066

    The RSP-1066 does not support DTS 96/24. This is due to an older Cirrus chip inside. I was wondering if somebody has tried to upgrade this pre-amp by installing the latest Cirrus chip to get DTS 96/24 out of it.

    I have read that this chip costs around 10$ so a try would be worth...

    I'm not going to say it's impossible, but I will say this: If you could do this yourself you would have built your own pre/pro by now and if you find someone who can do it, it's going to be a whole lot cheaper to buy a 1068.

    The whole processor is built around the DSP chip and that's why they had to come out with the 1068.

      The used market price on the RSP-1066 is still $700 - $850. And they sell fairly quickly at that price.

      I would suggest putting your 1066 on Agon, to help subsidize the purchase of a 1068. And if you were willing to buy a used one, this would be a very economical upgrade.
