@JK - Thanks as always for putting this together. I'm pretty certain (unfortunately) that admin/mod privileges are on a per sub-forum basis.

My questions:

- How does Meridian intend the USB input in the new G68AXD and XXD variants to be used? Is the USB input limited to 16/44?

- Will a USB for optical input card swap be offered for existing G68 users?

- 861 USB card?

- How does M approach the development of DSP speaker firmware changes (like the fairly recent bass crossover change)? Do you listen to the speaker and think you can make it better or do you hit upon a new code appraoch and decide to test it out?

- As the "master of digital", does Meridian aspire to making a digital-in, digital-out, iPod dock? Being subject to the mercy of the iPod's DACs surely compromises highest fidelity.

- Hiker Day II? M were "thinking February/March 2008" and were planning to "announce it around the year end [2007]".

- More interaction with the forum PLEASE.

- Can (non-confidential) technical info sheets (PDFs) be made available? e.g. Diagnostic codes, etc.

- Will the 568.2 v2.5 beta firmware ever be made official?

- Will the 568.2 v2.5 beta firmware get a fix for the lipsync/MHR-breaking bug that Bob was concerned about when asked in the CEDIA 2006 Q&A session?

- How long might owners of recently replaced products - G61 (not G61R), G91, G98 - expect software updates? Even recently, whilst dealers unloaded their demo stock, the main Meridian website made no mention of the G61R, G92 and G96 replacements. Even now, there is no mention of the G61R and there are plenty of references in the web brochure to the replaced products.

- Can Bob elaborate on why DVD-A support was dropped. There have been more than small hints that it was a part supply issue.

- Can M commit to supporting DVD-A with the 800?

- Does John Bamford still work at Meridian?

- Can DSP8000 owners expect a SpeakerLink upgrade?
