Meridian better be busy working on the upgrades for the 568 / 596 rather than pssing about with SACD.

My point, if it's not clear enough is that they already have loads on their plate, they already have what is regarded by many as the reference digital processor and CD/DVD player.

If you cut Bob Stuart in half it would most likely say PCM in the middle. Honestly I see no time real soon when Meridian will support SACD there is just no point that I can see.

Perhaps in 10 years time if DVD-A has failed (unlikely) and there is a market.

I'm in no hurry fo SACD or DVD-A, I slightly luke warn on the DVD-A front, but when CD's sound so bloody good through my system (596/568.v1/DSP5000's) this particular pip is not going to get squeezed. The only thing that I currently lust after is an 861v3.
