Hi Dolf,

The 800 has Meridian upsampling as well as MHR into the 861, which lowers the jitter vs a non-Meridian source. The current Sooloos is a non-Meridian source, just as the Sonos units I tried. I anticipate that the Meridian/Sooloos will have something similiar to the 800 or better, the Meridian "secret sauce". In addition, the Meridian/Sooloos will have Meridian comms and will therefore be controllable within a Meridian system and configurable within M Config. To me, that would be the extra performance that Meridian is bringing to the table vs another music server or a current Sooloos.
