I contacted meridian. We will see if they get back to me. I think it may be auralic firmware upgrade.
the Sabre dac in the auralic sounds good, I thought the Mercian is better, but maybe not. They are old dacs, I may look for a chord I just hate changing cables and everything.
Now I’ll have a nice wireworld ultraviolet printer cable.
thanks for the response. It’s maddening trying to figure it out.
