Meridian corporate customer support better than Linn's? Sorry, I beg to differ. Every time I asked Linn for support they were prompt to reply. Even with silly network problems I had due to my own fault they were kind enough to help out.

Meridian on the other hand have never ever responded to any of my mails. I tried elaborate and short, to the point mails but no reply. Considering that these mails were relating to actual bugs in the Sooloos system and also considering the investment for a MD600 + 818, I have to say that I for one am unhappy with Meridian support.

I have had several Naim streaming devices (Uniti, UnitiQute, NDX) and they were all highly stable. I haven't encountered a single problem, nor any bugs in the software. Having said that, I do prefer the sound of Meridian Sooloos to any Naim streaming device. Naim can be more forceful/dynamic/impressive, but the recent Sooloos products have better low level resolution and better soundstaging.
