Hello all,

I have just registered for Meridian Unplugged. I have been using your site for info for a long time; however, an offer came up for a used MC200 1TB for $2,200 CDN (Roughly 1,200 Pounds) with a full warranty from a dealer.

I think it is a steal, but I would like to get some input from you all on a few matters as I'm buying it unseen.

1) Is the current core app on iPad really good?

2) How is it best run (I'm looking to get a pair of DSP5200's in the future, but in the mean time, how good is it being used as SPDIF, fixed RCA, and Variable RCA? Is variable ok?).

3) Is it easy to backup to my computer on a hard drive?

4) Does the TIDAL upgrade work like Rhapsody? In other words, does it allow for albums to become part of the playlist with a separate icon? If so, that would make it a game changer having all that music available as part of you music at CD quality.

Am I getting ahead of myself on that one blush? Anyhow, I have heard Meridian stuff before (DSP5200 and Control:15), and I felt it was a system that was great and would take me off the audiophile equipment treadmill.

Regards,
Brian
