What do you need the unit to do? If you just need to convert from optical to coax, then something like the M-Audio CO2 will pass 24/96, do you need any of the other functions of the 562?

Bear in mind that firmware is EEPROM based. I can confirm that my 562V works fine with the V3.0 firmware (thanks again to Tahir for so generously letting me have it).

I've not tested whether it would pass through 24/96 as it only feeds into 18-bit speakers, but I'd probably bet against this.

From V2.0 upwards in the 562V you can download the current config file to look at it in Meridian Legacy setup. Sadly for the 562V you don't seem to be able to upload a changed config back to the unit.

You're quite right... the other functionality of the 562 would be most likely be wasted. You've saved me a few quid!
