Hi Joel,

As I'm sure you've guessed, that would very much depend on what is meant by the "latest spec".

If that meant just the Inputs changing to SpeakerLink, and the possible benefits from a Balanced AES connection, then personally I'd need some convincing that the Risk of Board Removal / Shipping / Re-Installation plus the costs involved, would be outweighed by the Audible Benefits.

I say this especially in the light of Bob's answer to my very specific question on this subject back at HH2, where I recall the word "marginal" being used.

Now, if the "Latest Spec Upgrade" were to involve some other Board / Power Supply / DSP / Electronics / Driver changes that have never been mentioned specifically by Meridian, then I'd be interested in hearing what those were and what the benefits would be... before assessing the Risks / Rewards.

I.e. I'm not sure anyone but Meridian can tell us what the "latest spec" for the D8k's really means!!
