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

My assumption was that it would be better to keep everything in the digital domain, end to end - I.e. all the way to my DSP speakers. That was the philosophy that got me into Meridian in the first place.

As I understand it, the Trinnov and the Datasat both permit a single digital connection into the 271, whereas if I were to use any of the other much cheaper processors, I would have to connect up multiple analogue outputs into the 271. Does’t seem a very elegant solution and I don’t know to what extent the overall audio quality would suffer. Or am I missing something?
