I have had the 568.2 for 4 years (converted 568.1). I am not sure if the problems I had are the same as yours. The speakers I run are thiel analog speakers not the Meridian DSP speakers.

Problem 1: Used to loose signal only on pcm from a Cal Audio CL2500 DVD player. All chanels would loose the signal for about a secont ever couple of mimutes. This occured only when playing a CD and with the upsampled digital output from the cal unit. There was no problem from the non upsampled signal nor with Dolby Digital or DTS. I changed DVD players to a Theta Carmen II and the problem went away.

Problem II. Would get a loud poping sound when changing channels on the satelite or imputs with the 568.2. By chance when calibrating the speakers one day I set the calibration point at 70 db instead of the 75 db recommended in the manual. The poping sound went away. Again this occured in all channels not just one. I noticed when reading the threads one day the other members were doing this already and noticed the same results as I did. Hope this helps.
