I think it is better to invest in good a/d converters and buy another brand for HT usage.

Meridian makes very nice gear, but they always come late with HT inovations.

Same with MQA, other companies can play MQA on their streamers. For now Meridian doesn't have an affordable MQA compatible player for DSP speakers on the market.

I find it kind of strange as the have years of time advantage on MQA.
