Are you preparing for the 808.5 upgrade or wait until more settled in?
I guess I could get used to the iPad ap to control a MC200. It was a bit slow when I compared it to the C15 and of course the screen is much smaller. I seldom use Ipad apps for my Olive or SonoS units. I prefer to control those using the MacBook Air and the web apps.

For Managing I use the Control PC app. For starting "swim" when I get home I use the iPhone app and when I know what I want I start a new focus/swim from ControlPC (where I often sit and work). For relaxing couch mode I use the iPad.

But for me Swim is working very well and I can relax the active music selection unless I just want select specifically another song right now.

First dealer comparison is in between 808.3 and 808.5:

I wish we could have a group buy and get a good deal at the same time....
$6000 is the price for another very good brand new system.....
wishful thinking?

Took the plunge and upgraded v3 to 808v5
As much for the power supply upgrade, id41 and extended 5 year warranty as anything as i don't use the digital ouput card.

So far sounds terrific. Will let it settle/burn in and try the sooloos tomorrow eve.

This is supposed to be a upgrade that can be performed at the dealer and not sent back. Less than a day I believe. Is that what you experienced?

Yes, your dealer can order the upgrade kit from meridian and perform the upgrade for you.
