Russ,
Thanks for posting. I can only hope that you have been misinformed! I am not sure what Meridian's focus is right now as they seem to be in deep hibernation. The news section on their website is over a month old i.e. anticipating CEDIA not actually documenting new products. The promised data sheets do not seem to have been forthcoming. And what has actually happened to the new amp intended to partner the Ultra DAC?
Does Bob actually work for Meridian any more or is he full-time MQA?
A bit more clarity from Meridian and a higher profile would be welcome.
