Hi
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH.....................
i love my 568 and 562 set but with the new hd formats what should i do?
(i know i dont use caps where i should - i have 1 hand so its easier)
now im considering lexicon with shawns 8x analog from my ps3
is there a way to pump the hd audio into the 568?
i dont really care about 7.1 but uncompressedd 5.1 well.... thats a more enticing prospect.
oh i never use stereo and rareley music i use my kit for HC and tv
Do not think...feel

is there a way to pump the hd audio into the 568? Into a 568 or 568.2, no; into a 568.2MM, yes - use an HD621, or a Shawn modified CLUX or Octava, or a Shawn modified Blu-ray player.
561, DSP5500s, DSP5000C, analog sides and rears

You need a 568.2mm minimum for the new HD formats.

you know what im glad you said that to be honest ... i do like the exclusive nature of the Meridian stuff - oh and the fact it sounds awesome.
ive read lots about the clux and octava etc but i will be using ps3.
in simple terms what kind of outlay is needes to get hdd audio from 5 series Meridian?
or am i better spending on scary dsps?
it was all so easy and amazing when i got my first lg one box years ago!!lol

Nisnos,
I don't know if Lexicon has magically improved or not over the years, but I can say with all sincerity that I have never heard a musical Lexicon processor. I have always found their sound to be more like regular AV receivers than hi-end equipment. Out of all of my friends who had lexicons (4), I only know of one who still has it. And he has the system of the lowest pedigree, which I think tells you something.

Lexicon pro products (reverbs and processors) are the best in the biz.....

Lexicon is Meridian's closest competetor when it comes to digital preamps. If Meridian didn't exist I'd own a Lexicon again. I found Trifield really good and Lexicon's sounded a lot like PLII Music. I did like Panorama mode once in a while on the Lexicon which was fun to play with.
One other plus is you can talk directly to Lexicon Reps on their forum which is nice. They also have a great trade in program that loyal Lexicon customers automatically invoke on every new processor.
