Hi Colin,

I'm afraid I don't have Meridian speakers so I cannot test the SpeakerLink output, but I'd be surprised if optical sounded as good as SpeakerLink. I don't have an adapter but will try to get one from the distributor.

All Sooloos devices I have used thus far all had x2 Apodising on by default. I'm guessing this won't be different for the MS200. In case of the MC200, x2 resulted in double samplerate indeed, so 88.2 KHz for CD material.
