I suspect the delay is as has been already speculated the Airplay2 approval?
Alternatively, Meridian might possibly be trying to include Roon Essentials.

And I believe that is still the case.

I would place my bet that it is waiting on Spotify approval.

Are these features not software based? If the features are not approved by the various actors does that mean that the product is effectively dead? Could the product not be launched in a limited version and those extra features be activated through a firmware upgrade?

Like the 24/192 upgrade mentioned in the DSP8000 data sheet?😀

Wasn’t that MQA? Ok, a bit more than just firmware, but didn’t > 96/24 get to select DSP’s in the end?
