The above item states a 568.2 for sale.

The facepalte is for a standard 568, it could still be a .2 and not had the updated faceplate.

HOWEVER and more importantly, it has another connector mounted where the MHR update to "mm" spec would go BUT!!!!!

Look caefully, it is a serial connector male (2 rows of pins) NOT the VGA connector of three rows (female)

He claims software version 5 which does not exist.

But it is NOT the VGA connector, it is another RS232 connector!

Its been updated, now showing a picture of updated serial sticker.

Still seems confused about the MM MHR connector though.

Does anyone have the brochure from the time the 568 was launched? I think it showed two 9-pin D's in the photo, and for sure the .pdf ]data sheet does but the photo on Duncan's site is maybe a later rev: http://www.Meridian-audio.info/viewphoto.php?compid=152&photoid=1269

Also check out the serial number which is very low! 100018. It probably is just a really early 568 that was upgraded to .2 but not MM.

<Edit>Even better, the link to a 568 review from Duncan's site shows a 568 with the 2x 9-pin D.
