Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems Is the 861 a dead end?

It might be worth mentioning that the new Oppo 203 has an HDMI input (that Jerry is presumably sending his K-scape system into), the Oppo can accept the HD audio formats, dedode to PCM, and send it to HD621->Meridian. This is an acceptable solution for Kscape/Meridian owners for now, the HD621 needs a 4K+HDR(?) replacement. Possibly the 861 as well.

Ironically enough, the Oppo 203 is marketed as a primarily as a spinning disk player, plays CD, DVD-A, SACD, DVD, BD, BD-UHD. But the HDMI input allows it also to be fed a streaming video source, such as a Kscape or Dune streamer, or something like that.

These days, I copy disks first, before I listen (and definitely don't use the car stereo CD player (if it even exists!). I mostly stream.

I'm looking forward to a 4K migration eventually, 4K projector, 4K HD621 replacement, 861 upgrade (perhaps), only the 4K TV's are cheap! Hopefully not new HDMI cables in the ceiling!
