Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming Meridian 210 Streamer - Released!

No but I would really like 210 to have native Tidal support instead of BT or Roon only...

Use the 'mconnect Lite' free app on an iPad.

This utilises the UPnP feature of the 210 and has Tidal available as a source.
Select Tidal as the 'Browser' and 'Play to' the 210.

Nice - Do you get the full range of Tidal quality this way?

Yes, MQA from the Masters works fine!

As I previously stated, mcontrol/hd (free) is better and more comprehensive than mconnect lite.

Thankyou, I will try mcontrol with Tidal and 210.

Edit:
I installed mcontrol and browse Tidal and play to 210.
It states, ”Selected device does not support Tidal.”

BUT, Mconnect Lite works fine!

So it seems some apps are picky(?)

I connected a Roon trial on my Synology DS3617xs NAS to the 210 and it works really well after a quick reboot of the NAS. Compared to the upnp apps its ultraexpensive but the client is so much nicer and it’s not dependent on the phone in any way. Siri doesn’t interfere etc. (Maybe it was a glitch).

I’m getting a 210 for my 861v8 setup as well, if Meridian releases an MQA card for 861v8/x I’ll find another use for it.

The soundquality of the 210 (Roon) to the F80 is awesome and I hope that it will play well with the 861v8 as well.

Looking at your system listed in your signature I would say the price of Roon is a mere drop in the ocean.

Slightly confused over what a 210 attached to an 861v8 gives you over the ID41 you already have since both are Roon capable endpoints.
Assuming you are connecting 210 --> 861 --> DSP that is.

MQA?

So yes, 210 will do MQA in "HW" and it is a RAAT device which I think going forward is a good thing. It also syncs nicely across audiozones with my other 210-F80 setup.

Now, I love Trifield and it will be the main DSP mode but the 210 can potentially be connected infront of the 861v8 and with passthrough so that DSP8k in 2ch will do the final MQA render.

Ofcourse I would rather have the MQA card in a IDxx RAAT device for 861v8/x use but until then this external solution will have to do.
