Resolution enhancement is increasing the number of bits typically from 16 to 24.
Upsampling is increasing the sample rate, typically from 44.1KHz to 88.2KHz

Thanks for letting us know that the 808.3 displays 96KHz when playing a 192KHz source.
I was hoping that network connected Sooloos 'end points' i.e. no SPDIF interface might take advantage of 192 KHz, but I guess not.

I think Meridian lost a huge opportunity to gain a market advantage when developing SpeakerLink in not supporting 192Khz.

Thus I conclude that the only advantage of this update is that it one does not have to use a 3rd party tool to downsample the file before importing.

For the record, I believe 192Khz is way OTT, and all this is just a moot point.
