Pros
The mx1680 is much smaller and lighter, delivers more power and has many features that make it superior to the elan 1650. The sound quality is excellent with plenty of power (50w or 80w/channel into 8 ohm and 4 ohm speakers, respectively). It is well ... Read More
This amplifier works great, and the return policy is exemplary. Make sure the amp is wired via cat5 cable to the router. The flexibility of the configuration of the amplifier is superb.
Each channel is individually selectable. Each of the 6 stereo channels can be bridged. Also, they can be moved from one channel to the other for troubleshooting.

Packaging/appearance
Amp from best buy a week ago spent 1200 and the freaking thing was dead out of the box
Also make sure the tiny switch next to the cat5 connector is set to 34ethernet34
Competitiveness
Its perfect whats not to like multiroom sources
I use google chromecast audio devices as audio inputs to allow apps such as spotify to cast music selectively across the 8 zones
