Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems New 4K TV purchased - need DD+ streaming solution

I have been spending 9 long months renovating a vacation home and trying to have my surplus M. equipment used in a meaningful way.

Thanks to Bruce from CMB Integrations and Matt Baty from Nantucket Networks, I have a pre-wired legacy/SL/passive cables basement room to watch tv and film.

Buying 2 new Vizio 4K TVs, I want to be able to stream 4K from Netflix over a high-speed Comcast cable modem->HS router->gig-e switch->4K streamer.

I am leaning towards buying a Roku 4 streamer and watching 4K from Netflix. The problem than becomes Netflix uses the DD+ soundtrack encoding, which doesn't work with my 861v4 + HD621 I have installed here.

Any bright ideas on the forum?

The one that came to mind is buying an Oppo 103D connecting the HDMI output of the Roku into the Oppo's DMI input. That seems like an using a pile driver to smash an ant, but my objection to buying that is my physical media is stored all in my other home.

By the way, Matt enjoyed learning about the Meridian technology and implementing his first M. system. He thought plenty of people would be interested in it because of the design (the way the speakers and processor looked) and the quality of the sound output.

If you are on the cape (Mass.), I would recommend giving Matt a call for all your networking and HT wiring needs. The AV rack he built for my was immaculately laid out.
