Initially I thought it's a strange idea to go to running digital audio lines everywhere, where the original idea of doing it all over a network was more elegant. But then I guess this is relatively a budget option. Unless it's more than UKP12000 it works out cheaper than having 6x MC200 spread around a house.

Only unbalanced analogue, running around a building?

And again, something that can rely on the iPad.

(Oh, and M seems to be dropping the colour black...)

Your guess is as good as mine! I presume the MC 600 is a multiple zone with core soloos allowing one to have soloos throughout the house but letting one choose which rooms to have a touchscreen in. Myvquestion is whether the two drives are mirrored back ups or just dual capacity. I am guessing the former so it will basically be a twinstore on steroids!

Your guesses look pretty good. From the "Meridian News" brochure that I picked up today at M CES some of what it said is:

"The Media Core 600 represents a much more powerfull approach with six zones and sophisticated synchronisation between multiple units, along with large scale RAID auto-mirrored storage, that makes it into the most powerful and intuitive digital media system imaginable."

It goes on to discuss how additional media core 600 units can be linked together to form an extremely large scale integrated system consisting of up to several tens of zones.

This info may be available on the M web site.
