help on Soolos display for classical downloads


I have recently upgraded my main system,can be seen on virtual systems,by adding a Meridian Soolos and a Meridian 861V6. The resulting sound is by far superior to the 861V4,and ripped cds sound very good through the Soolos However,trying to find the cds on which I have downloaded on the Soolos display proves to be a true challenge.I tried to arrange the music by composer,it only works sometimes,it will pick up conductor,or soloist names a real mess.Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.As to the sound quality it is great no harshness,excellent bass,you can easily identify each instrument and it location.The one playback which seems to sound better,is the CD played on the Zanden 2000p transport using the 861 DAC.However, I have not listened long enough to the system to do an in depth comparison.I had a major improvement in my system since I started driving the low frequency of the German Physics Loreleys with the Electrocompanient Nemo amps.At this point I am very happy with sound of my main system,FINALLY .

Bill; I have the new Qsonix 205; and interface it with my Meridian 861 v4.2. It works fantastic; I have had no probelms with meta data or storage; and its user interface in my opinion is clearly superior to the Sooloos. The new digital output boards on this unit are made by Wadia, and they eliminated the fan noise that plagued the earlier version, 105 and 110. The sound is improved from the earlier version; and it handles the hi-res downloads from HD tracks with ease.

just my two cents; having had experience with both, in a similiar set up; by the way, I have MBL 111'es, and love them also. Try the Qsonix; I think you'll be pleased.
