If I understand correctly it will use MHR (Meridian's own encryption in a digital format) over a propriety physical connection. I think I've seen rumors to using a CAT-5/RJ-45 connection. Nothing has it yet. 598 (596+Upgrade) and an Option card added to the 568.

There is also talk of an External 6 channel D/A converter thet will probably output the same MHR above. Yuck, why bother. You'll be depending on player's bass mgmt, player's DAC's, a set of ADC's and probably some bass mgmt again and another set of DACs.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
