I've been using the Tidal service for a week and I'm sold - - great catalog and awesome sound. From experience I'd say, leave it to the Scandinavians to do great things even better!

Now, as we all wait for the the Tidal + Sooloss integration, I've been thinking, would the Meridian box be adding anything to the sound, or would it merely serve as a "conduit"?

Would there be any difference, in sound quality, listening to Tidal from a PC/Mac, a dedicated audio component like Electrocompaniet or Meridian Sooloos?
