Meridian Sooloos - Still Top of the Mountain Digital Solution?
- Thread starter caesar
- Start date
No it is not. Jriver and Jremote are so mature they will allow anyone to build their own server that beats or matches sooloos SQ for a fraction of the cost, or have someone do it for them for a little more. 4-5 years ago a DIY server was still a PITA, now it is a breeze.
Not to mention single board systems such as the BeagleBoard (or the Raspberry Pi at the lower end) that have made "computer-based" systems small, cheap and silent.
Current MDMS (SooLoos) offerings come in many forms to fit the requirements of many but not everyone. With a current MSRP of $4k the MC-200 with the iPad Control Core ap puts the SooLoos interface within reach of many more looking for a easy to use interface. Sending the MC200's output to either a Meridian ID40 or ID41 endpoint will give the user SQ competitive with all but the mega-buck (i.e. DCS) products.
The good. - The GUI is still as good as you will find and unlike a laptop that hangs off an audio set-up like a pair of fuzzy dice in a Ferrari you can easily hide the unit just about anywhere.
The bad- It doesn't handle DSD if that actually becomes as relevant as we hope.
