Getting tired of waiting for the 210. I saw this
video on YouTube and he rank this streamer incl Dirac Live as a bigger sound inprovement than MQA. Especially as I have non SE DSP speakers.

I can’t say that I’m surprised. Meridian couldn’t really keep up with a closed system like Sooloos that had minimal dependencies with third party systems. With the 210, it will be a much tougher job keeping up with the latest services and technologies. On recent performance, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are already having to play catch-up, hence the delay.

Perhaps the dellay is due to Airplay 2 support not being available yet - the data sheet only mentions Airplay! Brian

Mel,
A little British humour, yes.
Meridian promised a software upgrade for the DSP8ks to enable them to handle 24/192 in 2001:
8k datasheet on Duncs site. This comfortably beats the current wait time for the 210.

Promises, promises, some met, others forgotten and consigned to the passing of time. Thanks Dominic (Methuselah 969 years, also bull...) for this historic reminder. Exciting times to come! Can't Adam and Eve it that Apple ever existed. Hector

OK, the 210 was introduce and talked about some time ago. From what I know, I believe the delay is beyond Meridian's control. Having seen it, heard it - trust me - its worth the wait! Cheers, Ian.

Please elaborate. Are they having trouble getting it out the door because they can’t get it current to Apple, Google formats or what? Parts from China? If people knew the nature of the issue, it might ease anxiety for those who can’t pull the trigger at present on an alternative endpoint. The fact that it is a Sooloos endpoint supported by Roon is at some point backwards.

The 210 is not a Sooloos endpoint it is a Roon endpoint running the RAAT protocol, I suspect the delay is as has been already speculated the Airplay2 approval?
