I think the MC200 is a very good starting point, as it is also a ground up Meridian design

You miss out on the Sooloos UI with the iPad, but to me that's not an issue........to others, it's the major reason for buying Sooloos to start with

Buying an 808.3 JUST for the ID40 is obviously overkill.......but if one's starting point is the best sound quality from Sooloos, then that is likely the way to go..........I just don't know if it's really necessary and only the buyer can make their own mind on that Cost / Benefit ratio
