Can the TX-NR838 be upgraded to 11.2 with an external amp?

I havent use that cambination but i guess you can because you will use the TX-NR838 to send the signal to the amp and whatever you connect to the amp then its up to how many outs it has

Go to the link below, and remember that any speaker that is not one of your seven speaker minus your sub will only produce 2 channel stereo. What your talking about would cost you more money then buying a 11.2 receiver, and after you were done you would be wondering what speaker cables from the receiver, plug into your brand new $3,000 11 channel amp.http://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/ultimate-surround-sound-guide-different-formats-explained/

I am using 11.2 in my room, I am not using any secondary rooms. I think the intelligent amp might be the ability to automatically select the perticular processing, Dolby 5.1, DTS 5.1 Dolby EX 7.1 DTS 7.1 EX and other processing encoders. I do not have to use external power amps, the unit will supportchannels as long as you do not select the secondary rooms. I suggest you download the manual from Yamaha, it is very good in explaining the unit and it's uses. I am extremely impressed with the unit. I've been in the audio video for almost 60 years as a broadcast systems eng. I could not find anythingthat Yamaha left out. This unit is flat out amazing....................

No. This unit has no amplifier. It is designed to be installed in a rack system or used with a home theater system so an external amp is necessary.

In answer to your question. The Onkyo TX-NR828 is rated 130 watts per channel @ 8 ohms, so you would have to connect to speakers that can handle that wattage. The NR828 does have a preamp. output (to another amplifier ) if extra speakers are needed beyond the 7.2 configuration. The only comment I can make about your room size is, my 7.2 setup is in a 15'x15' room and has plenty of volume/power to spare. I would recommend downloading the instruction manual from the ONKYO website for various speaker setup configurations, and specifications, along with a ton of information about this unit. Hope this helps you. Enjoy your quest.

Yeah I'm using it in a 2.0 slot right now. Works best in 3.0, but it's backwards compatible.

Make sure to use low voltage 1.3v module. I was able to upgrade to 10gb total (installed 8gb module same brand and specs that the one I pulled out)

You can just hook them up to your existing wires and existing receiver. They don't have to have a external amp

I don't know, I haven't that device, I use that in a Note and works perfectly, but your device may require other power demands. You should consult the manufacturer's specifications and check that your external power supply is same or lower that 2.0 amp

Once you used the bi-amp feature, the total available channels will be 2 less. Yes, it will be limited to 7.1 only.

I am sorry, but the receiver you have doesn't have pre-amp outputs. You can't add any amp to this receiver. Sorry. Some of the higher end receivers have pre-amp outputs that allow you to add external amplification.

Not easily. There is a single coax "Monitor Out" connection that you could use to connect to an external amp but no terminals for extra speakers.

Yes, the bi-amp capability really comes from the receiver/pre-ampIt does not bridge if that is what you are wanting to do.

No its simple just purchase the correct cables and good ones. I bought the cables from emotiva when I purchased the amp.

Yes you are correct. Having a high TX power is not going to make your device work better further away unless it can return the signal [not quite just as well] but strong enough to respond

run it through a splitter, OR get an external mixer with multiple outs. thx!

No, You are not able to. Only the DX1211/DX1215 may be attached to the DS2413. The DS1813 and DS2413 are treated as independent NAS units.

I am also looking for the memory upgrade. If someone who has done this could post details, I would be eternally grateful! Not a member of the geek sqad so I am not sure how to go about it - is there a specific type to buy and how do you instal it?
