If it's not a typo, then it's a major event and suggests there are other update coming to Meridian. it only makes sense, as this was a major shortcoming of M products. It could also shed light on what is taking so long.
Primary: MD600, MS200 (SpeakerLink to AES), Trinnov ST-2, Ayre V6-xe, Salk SS8 3x LRC. Secondary: MC600 (whole house). Zone one: 568.2, G57, MS200, Spatial Hologram M2SE. Zone 2-6 (Awaiting assignment).
• One 2-channel Meridian SpeakerLink input. 44.1kHz to 192kHz sampling and up to 24-bit • One 2-channel digital optical TOSLINK input. 44.1kHz to 96kHz sampling and up to 24-bit • One 2-channel digital coaxial SPDIF input. 44.1kHz to 192kHz sampling and up to 24-bit • One 2-channel analogue input • One network input (Ethernet) for connection to Meridian Sooloos or alternative control interface
I did a quick google of HH and the earlier spec sheets said up to 192 (including DoP) for SPDIF. I haven't tried it with SPDIF so don't know what the truth is.
It will be the 2x unfold on the digital output as unencrypted PCM.
I think this might mean 2x whatever the size of the unfolded file it receives, not necessarily limited to 96/24. Any further unfold would be by a licensed MQA decoding DAC.
While it is unencrypted PCM, you still need a downstream MQA DAC to further decode the unencrypted PCM final MQA goodness. See also post below. I can be corrected of course but I thought the taboo limit was no final hardware decode.
If you are thinking of sending it to yet another DAC for MQA via the digital out, what would be the benefit of that?. Wouldn't you send it to the other MQA DAC in the first place?
This would be to another LOCATION via SPDIF at the 2X unfold level as Virus Killer stated in another post. No one ever has ever said DOWNSTREAM MQA software would not further unfold in ANOTHER MQA licensed DAC. I thought Virus Killer choose his words carefully.
