Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming Meridian Offer QNAP & dBpoweramp Support

Yeah the problem you're going to have is that you've spent approximately $19,000 on amplification and speakers, which are going to be ultra-revealing, and only spent a tiny fraction of that on your source. So the quality of the amps and speakers is letting you hear every flaw in the upstream gear. The old advice of source first really is true.

Having said that, the point is not to bash you or make you feel bad, but really to encourage you to upgrade that source ASAP to make the most of the rest of a wonderful and expensive setup! I would think firstly that, if you can't afford Sooloos entry yet (if you're thinking about it I'd recommend a second hand 500GB MC200 would be a huge improvement by itself, and probably well under $1500 now? You could then add an MS200 and have a very nice sounding source on which to build

Alternatively, there are some excellent CD players going for a song now that everyone is moving to streaming - some of Meridian's older models are relatively cheap s/h and wonderful sounding machines which will easily best your airport, etc. def worth a listen!
