Also , is it just me or has this delay not fatally limited the potential success of the recent ' Trade up to Sooloos' campaign ???? Surely a slickly functioning App would help motivate any ' fence-sitters ' to go for it ?? An MC200 and iPad1/2/3 is highly attractive if available .
I see the MS600 as simply a Meridian quality implementation of the Source:One. Is it better than the previous unit? Absolutely. However, I don't see it as some substantial new offering that wasn't previously present in the Sooloos lineup pre-Meridian. We're free to disagree on this point, of course, but that's my view.
So perhaps Meridian didn't give a date certain and our complaint is that we think they did. How often do you put a lot of trust in the date of a future software release anyway? I'm hoping they get the bugs out before release and guessing that's the holdup now. Their CES development priorites were M6 and 818 before the revised app. Can't take issue with that. JMO.

This definitely makes it more "real". I'm sure we'll all be very pleased.

We definitely disagree as it is for all intents and purposes an ID40 in it's own box that can be added to any processor. A huge improvement IMHO as it separates the noisy conputer control from the conversion as the Id40 does.
Aloha,
