Another interesting comment... which IMHO again just re-states your long held anti-Meridian bias, for whatever reasons.

Having heard the Sooloos systems and components on 3 separate occasions between 2007 and 2010, [i.e. before the Meridian buy-out] I can indeed confirm that the only appealing part of Sooloos was the attractive User Interface.

Any manufacturer or User with knowledge of RFI / EMI would tell you that having Analog or Digital outputs from boxes using standard PC Components like Audio Cards... or with very little Internal Shielding... was almost certainly going to yield a compromised Audio result... and that is looking at it subjectively.

And that subjective view was only confirmed by objective listening, which confirmed that the pre-Meridian Sooloos components were compromised from an audio point of view... with high RFI & Jitter levels polluting the stream that was being sent to any downstream components.

The pre-Meridian Sooloos system was indeed appealing due to its User Interface... but lacked appeal to many audiophiles due to its compromised audio.

All of which makes one wonder what you mean by "[Meridian's purchase] has left original Sooloos owners with very little to work with"?

During its tenure of Sooloos ownership, Meridian has introduced several Sooloos components or "End Points" of a much higher subjective audio component quality... and I think it's fair to say that most reasonable people [Users and Press] have seen that advancement and commented more than favourably.

So again, you comment about previous Sooloos owners "having little to work with" seems misplaced at best.
