I have for a while been wondering how best to play with Atmos and the like while retaining my excellent Meridian equipment. I have found a solution and I had intended to post about it on this Systems forum but Robert Wistrela (the admirable Robert of Reviver fame) raised a question about the 271 on the Streaming forum and I sort of stumbled into explaining what I have done in that forum even though streaming is only one feature and wasn't my main motivation.

So, since I have posted some relevant pictures on the Gallery (which I never look at routinely and I suspect many other people do not), and because I know this is a topic which understandably troubles many of us, I thought I should place this cross referencing post on what I always think of as the main forum of Meridian Unplugged.

If you are interested in Atmos and other immersive codecs together with your Meridian equipment do have a read of Robert's '271 Display' thread on the Streaming forum and also have a look at my post in the Gallery.
