If i were to control and AD8 from a Crestron Piece would I have have all of the normal commands needed to do a standard DA system. All ON/Off, Discrete zone control for source and volume?

I know it seems stupid but I haven't touched one of these and expect it to have great protocol as it comes from a control company.

I need a step down for a budget project. Client has 10K for 6-8 zones of D/A plus a surround system. He wants iPad control and ability to add keypads and handhelds.

I don't do RTI at all but would use this amp with a small Crestron system.
