Kingsrule,

I'm not going to presume I fully understand your motivation but the impression you repeatedly give with your posts it that you hold Meridian responsible for the original Sooloos not evolving and meeting your requirements. The reality is that without Meridian's investment it is highly likely Sooloos systems would no longer exist ... my understanding is that Sooloos was bankrupt a failing company with large debts.

Meridian saw the potential of the Sooloos application and invested in the people behind it by adopting (acquiring) the company and a giving it a stable financial footing. The Sooloos founders and developers still work for Meridian (they post on here from time to time) and they have confirmed that major development of the Sooloos application is ongoing.

Together Sooloos and Meridian are better than the sum of their parts, period.
Can it be improved, absolutely. Will it be perfect ... What is!

You're welcome to express your opinion on the relative merits of the Meridian-Sooloos hardware and their respective AQ (with or without a third party DAC) but please do this without putting the knife in Meridian's back each time. If you feel this request is unreasonable then please contact myself or one of the moderators to discuss.

Regards,
Carl
