For Device Manager, you need to use a Windows 10 machine. The software still appears to depend on an older version of .NET and may not work properly under Windows 11.

At least, that has been my experience.

Cleaning things out! When I mothballed this D704 12 or more years ago it was working fine. CD and LaserDisc.

I think I have the remote and I imagine I have a power cable (it's a standard jobbie). Not sure I have the manual - 50/50 odds.

Free to any Hitchhiker who can come pick it up.

I've got these two pieces that have been gathering dust for quite some time (like, a dozen years, probably more).

Just the units. No boxes, cables, remotes, manuals, or anything.

562V: As far as I can recall, it worked perfectly when I mothballed it.

598: I am fairly certain it was modded with the SDI-out. Before it was decommissioned, I seem to remember it had the flaky open/close problem many (most? all?) 598s had back then.

Happy to give them to a fellow Hitchhiker - as long as you come pick 'em up.

LMK!

Replace the LM317. They do go bad and don't hold voltage.
Buy a higher spec model.

Been poking around inside my Ellipse for a bit, trying to create an app that avoids the slowness of the Meridian Control iOS app. So far (running on macOS, will port to iOS later):



From top to bottom:

- Album Art (+background fade in color palette)
- Progress bar with scrubber (contrasting color from artwork palette)
- Streaming source + audio format
- Metadata + track controls
- Volume slider
- Volume presets (configurable in settings, collapsible)
- Source selection
- EQ settings (surprising find: loudness + full equalizer, collapsible)
- Display brightness
- Power/Standby

The Meridian specific DSP presets (FREE-Q, BASS & SPACE, IMAGE ELEVATION) are elusive as of yet. But yes – it's lighting fast. Not sure if this will work for 210/218 as well – it is talking to the StreamUnlimited interface (and a little bit of Meridian IP control).
