Specific Crestron, Control 4 and AMX modules are also being developed. The protocol is a bit like an extended version of the current RS232 command set.

Serious question: I've looked at the data-sheet, but I can't work out - in the scenario that e.g. Roon would stream music (data) to the 218 over the network - what the max. 'input rate' would be. Will it be 96/24, as with most other Meridian processors, or will it be able to accept higher-rate data? I think we should be told....

I would happily settle for a firmware upgrade to my ID41 card...

So are we to assume that - Quote ....44.1kHz to 192kHz sampling and up to 24-bit.... or - Quote ....44.1kHz to 96kHz.... are also the limits through - Quote One network input (Ethernet) for connection to Meridian Sooloos or alternative control interface ?
