… UHD121 Master out connecting to the 861 input port usually used by a UHD722, thus allowing the TV to do the source switching and allowing DD, etc. out via HDMI instead Hi, I don’t see it connecting the multichannel RJ45 input port of an 861, as it’s a SpeakLink output not a MMHR connection. I doubt Meridian have considered using this with an 861 but I guess it could be connected to a SpeakerLink input on the 861. Regards, Carl

Bruce,
Could you use a Prime Power Supply to power this?
Sooloos, Roon, G series (with LPS upgrade), 800 series (with LPS upgrade), HD621, AC200, Prime and PS, DSPs old and new.
Purdeys, Moke, Leica, 'Blad. Only the best.

Presumably, the voltage and current values are the same. It will depend on connection compatibility, but that can be easily fixed.

The UHD121 can also be powered over the SpeakerLink connection.

Does it do multichannel pass-through, i.e. UHD121 Master out connecting to the 861 input port usually used by a UHD722, thus allowing the TV to do the source switching and allowing DD, etc. out via HDMI instead of optical? You would use a SpeakerLink Input on the 861, not MMHR which is used by UHD722. Also make sure to set the TV to output DD, not DD+ as the 861 can't decode DD+. Can it be daisy-chained via a 218? You can Wire TV > UHD121 > 218 > DSP Speakers. What is the purpose of that spare HDMI input? For a direct to Meridian source such as a DVD or Sky Box. Removes any latency the TV may add, and removes any performance reduction from passing the audio through the TV. It also gives you back the HDMI input to the TV which the UHD121 has used, in the case of TVs with few HDMI Inputs. Rick

My mistake, I got my SL and MMHR mixed up.
So the UHD121 does pass through DD via SL so eliminating the need for the Optical connection?

As far as I can see the only additional benefit of using the UHD121 is the use of the TV remote.
As for the audio capabilities, it is the same as the optical connection?

I wouldn’t underestimate the benefit of having a single remote, to be honest. For us, the TV is 80% of the hifi’s usage so to be able to drop the current Harmony remote in favour of a simple TV remote plus Roon via tablet is quite appealing. Depending of course on the price!
