Rafael,

You are OT; hence your question should really be in a new thread.

Meridian have stated that they do not (ever) want HDMI signals in the processor as they are detrimental to the sound quality. We can only speculate on the spec of a 861v5 but I`m 100% certain that is will not have any HDMI inputs, you have to think of the HD621 as an external card for the processor.

We suspect the 861v5 will have a speaker-link output card, a MMHR input card and apodizing.

Regards,
Carl.
