Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems Worthwhile trading-in 808.2 for 808.3?

I ran my Control:10 into my DSP8ks through speakerlink. The 8ks are getting a 44kHz feed which, I assume, is upsampled and apodized in the 8ks.

On more of a personal triumph, I was able to do this by extending my home network to my detached garage using a combination of Apple Airport Extreme Base Stations. My Sooloos Ensemble is in the house and I connected the house and garage with an 802.11n wireless connection. I have to listen some more but I'm optimistic that I won't need to run a wire. Psyche!

Addition: Spent some time playing and listening. I really enjoy the Control:10 interface. I would have lost a lot of time pulling out and putting back CDs tonight if I listened to what I did without the Sooloos. But, with a pair of DSP8ks being the jury, the Sooloos going direct to the 8ks via speakerlink at 44kHz did not compare to the 808i.2 playing the same material from the CD. The imaging was slightly off and there was a euphemistic veil over the sound. Tomorrow, I'll try the SPDIF output on the Control:10 into the 808i.2 and out to the 8ks and see if that's closer.

Lots of fun being had!
