What about 192 kHz support for the DSP speakers? How much will THAT cost? How will the potential increased jitter through the digital cable be handled? How would SACD signals be handled by DSP speakers without converting (downgrading) them to 96 kHz at the processor end? What if Meridian keeps dragging its feet on SACD support? Does that mean we have to buy a complete parallel high-end system from source to speaker to enjoy the full potential of SACD?

My new house construction should be completed within the next couple of months and I am seriously considering Meridian gear for both my HT room (568, 596, 558) and stereo hall (588 or 598). There is no way however that I would buy any DSP speakers. I just refuse to be held hostage by them.
