Meridian certainly won’t support the F80. Mine is a lovely doorstop just now. The Bluesound Pulse 2 has a similar F80 sound but decodes MQA does 24/192 files also. It’s what the F80/AD88 should have evolved into if Meridian stayed in that space.

Mine came with a 6 year warranty. You could plug a MS200 into the optical input but it’s Roon Ready out of the box.

If you subscribe to Tidal you can play Tidal Masters with the BluOS app, amongst almost anything else. Ohh, It does bluetooth apt as well.

Not bad for the price of a second hand F80. On the negative side, it’s not as pretty as an F80. But if you want you can link two as a stereo pair.

Options, options...

No 18 in the Hall of fame smile I have simple tastes; I am content to settle for the best:
GIK monster bass panels, rear wall. QNAP TVS 471i3. Roon into DSP5200SE via 210/ 218 zone... Explorer 2. Bluesound Pulse 2, Mini & Flex. 596v1, 518, Foxsat HD, Sony BDP, Pioneer 5090, 2 Chromecast's for LRB videos. MS200 to F80 for a Roon zone
