For what it's worth, I think the 271 is a really positive thing. One of the main draw's to Meridian is their DSP speakers. One of their main issues is the lack of support for modern AV standards. This is the bridge between the two.
It will be interesting to see what the 271 actually does. Is it literally a 20 channel DAC with volume control? I would imagine you'd want to control levels and distances from the main processor.
I assume that the Trinnov and Datasat versions take in digital input from those devices to save the DAC/ADC step.
Of course, I guess it makes an M cinema even more expensive...
