Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems AC200 v 818v3

Thanks Guys ! A side rant first, its not easy for newcomers and non-HiFi tech folks to understand the differences between hardware options for a brand like Meridian, so without the kind souls on this forum, its pretty much a trek in a thunderstorm. Kudos to crowdsourced support !

I reckon the Distributor isnt able to keep up relative to other, faster moving brands, but (in case he reads this!) they have been very good on support and they helped to rip a lot of my CDs so they had effort/heart in this even if their technical advice may be off.

NOW - you all say the 8x8 processes USB/streaming source signal differently from AC200 ? How is it different and why is it better ? This is a chunk of change to withdraw from the bank ! Gotta be enticed by a significant delta in sound quality...

Thanks again, I am so glad I came here for sagely advice.
