Apart from 30 years' experience of Meridian's pricing structure of course; that should enable a rough guess, even without knowing the model's spec. i.e. it isn't going to be £2k & is unlikely to be £20k.

My wildest (& probably unhelpful) guess would put it close to 818 territory, I can even imagine it costing more than an 818, so I'd guess at £7 - 9k.

I'm struggling to see how this would be more than an 818. What could this give you that the 818 doesn't? There's not going to be a pre amp stage in the new DAC, for example.

All depends on who the competition is.

Good grief, I must admit I wasn't expecting that; somebody looking at the pricing of high-end audio equipment objectively.

this press release mentions a " MQA demo featuring the MQA-enabled Meridian 818v6 Reference Audio Core"

Even the subconscious mind/hand of writer of PR knows what is required from M- a good upgrade cry grin

Hi Robert

Allegedly Meridian were represented by "Audio Reference" at the Munich Show, as advised (I think) by "Spinaltap" in another post.

AFAIK, the DAC was previewed to business partners only.

Any news on this new 800 series DAC? Friday is not the best day for a product launch IMHO, maybe next week sleep
