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!

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).
