Yes, however several earlier models of the 808 are not listed as eligible for the 808.5 upgrade, only the 808.3 and ruby anniversary (808.4) versions. Still, good business model and service for customers who own upgradable models and another way to build brand loyalty. |

Well to be fair, those older 800 series were all eligible to upgrade to 861v6/808.3 a year ago or so. Heck I even upgraded from my G68 to my 861v6 with the upgrade to reference promotion.

This is directly from R&D at meridian UK "The ID29 and ID41 will process audio at 192KHz, however, the output is 96KHz for compatibility with MHR and SpeakerLink connections. True 192KHz output you will need to listen to the analogue outputs from the new models (861v6 did this also) but the quality through a passive system is, as you know, inferior so listening to 192KHz is actually a technically worse experience than digital at 96KHz."

With reference upgrades, ID41 still outputs max 24/96.....
Bummer! |

That is not what is said in Pers post. (#13) Since I will not be using Speakerlink I will get 192 to my amps via the balanced outputs.
I really do not believe Meridians position that 192 in inferior to 96. |

I think Pers info is incorrect
I hope he's right but I think not Are you getting a Sooloos? |

I hope he's right too since I also use analog outputs from my 808.3

If I sell my Olive 4HD that is up for sale elsewhere here I may pick up a Media Core 200 and give it a try. 1TB is all I need because I get rid of music I don't listen to on a regular basis so neither the MS-300 or Olive are anywhere close to being full. |

You will not regret picking up an MC200. I only use the iPad and ControlPC/Mac app with my Sooloos system. Got no itch for a bulky old C10/C15.. an iPad 4th gen suits the couch style more.
Are you preparing for the 808.5 upgrade or wait until more settled in? |

I love the mc200 (previous generation) and the ipad app works very well, though occasionally pauses when loading graphics. Great system if you are looking at streaming with the 808.3. |
