Hi Kerry,

As I'm sure you know, it is not just the ID41 card that makes the difference in audio quality it's the whole build of the unit. LPSU, Master Clocks, input and output drivers, etc. It is the combination of all these factors that lifts the performance of 818v2.

I guess what you want is a MS600v2, which could lift the bar. However, I doubt Meridian would ever build a unit that outperforms their flagship 800 series.

Regards,
Carl
