Sorry for the thread detour. The mention of Neil derailed my focus. Great review and it has me thinking about picking up a laptop, Meridian Explorer for hi-res listening on the go. Or anywhere outside my room.

I have an Explorer waiting for me when I get back home from my travel at the end of next week
Will let you know my impressions once I get to connect it and test it. |

I would buy one if Meridian's App was made for the iPhone and came with an adapter cable.
(that it kept a selection of my library in lossless, used my Rhapsody account, and used "Swim" and "Focus") |

It seems that Meridian has came with a winner. It seems to better the AQ in terms of features (24/192 support), sound quality, build quality, looks and perceived value. All for a mere $50 more. I'm expecting AQ to undercut the DragonFly price by $50, just to stay competitive.
Interesting times indeed. Last edited by Elberoth; 02-14-2013 at 04:15 PM. |

I might just pick one up for my laptop at work. Colleagues will probably ask what it is
As for headset I will wait for the M branded ones. Hope they have something unique as well as make me look good. |
