yes, only standard DD/DTS, but�

if I may, I'll add a bit of my own experience here having only recently come over to Meridian gear after owning other pre/pro's for years.

when I upgraded my last Anthem processor and discovered lossless decoding, my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe everything I was hearing, and how my setup was fooling me into thinking it was great before.

Enter the M bug.

I bought an 861 without multi-channel analog input. before getting DSP speakers I was able to (A/B) within reason both processors with the same amps, speakers, etc..

without turning this into a review, there were differences, but they were very subtle and I can say that the lossless Anthem sounded very clean but the Meridian sounded more even, accurate and never left me feeling that I'd stepped back to pre-lossless. I've since moded my Oppo player and feed it a lossless signal and yes it's better, but the differences are not as large as they were in my previous setup.

all this to say that "FOR ME/disclaimer" the hype about how M process the incoming signal is true, They do a lot more with less than most others.
I had purchased 2- 568.2mm's with intentions of feeding them an MHR signal in other rooms but will live without because it's that good.
