I'm guessing Explorer 2 and 818.3/808.6 MQA compliant firmware.

Hopefully with a Sooloos update that ties the ecosystem together

Makes sense it's MQA related as they've capitalized the initials in the Twitter announcement.

I sincerely hope it's not going to be that they've changed their minds about the whole thing. MQA is becoming such an anticlimax I can't put it past them...

I see it as either Tidal embraces MQA or nothing happens. Tidal is the Key. Without streaming a new format doesn't stand much of a chance just because it's 'better'.

You need a convenient platform of delivery that people actually use.

Think of what Napster and later Spotify did and facilitated for lossy decoding MP3/ogg formats.

Yawn. Meridian just make the announcement - not this drip feeding "excitement" creation marketing.

Yes, after keeping us waiting so long, and with no explanation, this is really annoying and provocative.

I misread the first post as 18 MONTHS ago and didn't feel surprised!

I just read this too.

Surely they just need to get on with it and provide the information we are all waiting for, without the involvement of "social media" for which I have no time.
