Which, according to Meridian (reported indirectly) is not going to happen. What *might* happen will be a rolling change to the 861 and G6x specifications to add an 8-channel MHR input using either 4x S/PDIF or SpeakerLink.

Other companies have made a virtue of keeping certain functions physically separated in their products (eg Naim and their power supplies) so it needn't be a deal breaker for potential new customers should Meridian always insist that the HDMI functions be in a breakout box.

On the broader point, I applaud the fact that Meridian will release a solution which will breathe new life into processors discontinued 4 years ago (568.2mm). Top marks!
