Hi,

First and foremost I am looking for a Meridian 'unit' to increase the number of digital inputs I have in my basic Meridian system. Ideally at least 2 optical in (I know the 518 only has 1) and 3 - 4 digital coaxial in.

Following a few recent purchases I have 3 sources with optical outs (Sky HD, HDD PVR, Mac), 2 coaxial (500 CD, DVD) and want to avoid further use of optical to coaxial converters and playing musical connectors when I choose another source!

I would also consider a Meridian surround processor that gives this number of digital inputs as it might give me the excuse I need to explore beyond the world of 2 channels. But I am unlikely to be able to afford any further DSP speakers to make the most of it in the immediate future.

The 'unit' would also need to be able select between sources without the need for further purchases.

Any surround processor purchase would almost certainly have to be a secondhand unit.

I don't think I am likely to have any great need for analogue inputs but who knows.

Any advice on the pro's and con's would be appreciated at this juncture.


Cheers

Spencer
