I agree there are no grounds for complaint on cost grounds (I have always expected to pay something for "Sooloos 3", based on the expectations and rumours of what it would bring) but I do feel disappointed.
For me, one of the big plus points with the Meridian system was the fact they had the best hardware and software. Now we are back to just hardware.

No matter what spin is put on this, commitment to supporting Sooloos 2.x is now just product End of Life management in my estimation.
Sooloos 3/Roon was the next big thing, and it looks to me like there was a disagreement at some point that led to the separation.

Maybe we will hear more from both parties in due course which may or may not clarify what actually happened.
Regardless, I'm sure I'll be sending some cash Enno's way in the near future which I had hoped would be going to Big M.

It will all still sound as great as ever of course... it's just such a disappointment to me that we'll have to share the UI with others smile
