I had been lusting after Meridian’s new DSP9 active speakers since they were unveiled at Munich Hi-End, and believe I may be the first U.S. owner (serial #3) after trading in the previous SE version. Most everything else has also changed -except the same view from the same Eames chair- since my last post here of the living room system.
The “skyline” acoustic diffusion panel is new, as are several absorption panels and a spongy TV screen cover that’s easily removed. Highlights of the digital source feeding these 3-way floorstanders with more than 1,260 Watts each (inside) include:
-
Raspberry Pi 4 running AudioLinux OS with the Diretta network protocol
-
Singxer SU-6 DDC to convert Pi USB to AES/EBU filtered by ENO M-Link
-
Cascaded Cisco Meraki network switches modified by AudioPhool NL
I’ve been very careful with power supplies and cabling, favoring Farad, Shunyata and Ghent.
