As meridian do not support atoms in their processors there is no other option but to replace it (if you want atoms).
Heh, spot the Apple user with the autocorrect from Atmos to atoms
I've unintentionally written atoms so many times recently...
Back on topic, I get that you'll need to use an Atmos processor, but it seems like you're then losing out in potential sound quality for "basic" surround (i.e. 95% of the surround content out there) and for stereo.
It seems like a 2 steps forward, 1 back scenario.. kinda surprised it's not part 861 with some of it's own intelligence tbh...
They could also be hedging their bets. The 271 doesn't mean no "871" (see what I did there...). There could be two parallel development courses. Or not.
Hmm.. maybe, but I think I'm with PWM, if they are working on an Atmos processor and if it's anywhere near ready, then releasing the 271 now is an own goal. They should release the 871 (or whatever) first, let that soak up the big money sales and then release the 271 to catch those who have already bought into Trinnov/Datasat etc..
This sounds to me like the 861 isn't getting Atmos or any of the newer fancy stuff. Would love to be proven wrong however...
