Master Quality Authenticated (MQA)
Sourced from the original studio master recording as approved by the creative team, MQA combines an advanced new digital sampling technology that captures extremely high frequency timing and detail in an audio signal with an equally novel system to “encapsulate” that data into a form for delivery using any lossless file format or streaming. The listener’s decoder reconstructs the entire original signal, bringing up an indicator confirming that what they are hearing is exactly the same as the original master. Without the decoder, the listener enjoys CD quality reproduction. Its most advanced form, “MQA Studio”, uses the technology in the studio to generate an even higher quality master recording as the source.
Meridian High Resolution (MHR)
MHR was the first approved encryption method for transferring high definition digital audio between components. Previously, it had to be in the analogue domain, reducing quality. MHR allows secure movement of high resolution digital audio within a Meridian system, without compromise, improving quality by reducing cyclic repetition.
SpeakerLink
Traditional audio systems often require large, expensive cables to maintain their performance. Meridian's SpeakerLink uses an “Ethernet style” cable that delivers pristine digital sound and control down a single cable between Meridian components. The result is simple, unobtrusive, and cost-effective cables that are easy to install.
DIGITAL PRECISION
Meridian Digital Precision maximises the signal-to-noise ratio of the digital audio, ensuring the finest details of every song are retained.
TRUE LINK
Meridian True Link is an encryption method for transferring high-definition digital audio over SPDIF connections. It allows secure movement of digital audio whilst ensuring that the SPDIF clock signal can be transmitted with minimum degradation.
BLUETOOTH® WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY
Allows audio to be played directly from a phone, tablet or computer - whether or not the 210 is connected to a network.
WIRED OR WI-FI?
Either. The 210 can be connected to your network either via an Ethernet connection or by using its built-in Wi-Fi capability.
PLAY FROM USB STORAGE
Play music stored on a UPnP music server elsewhere on the network or from USB storage plugged directly into the 210.
MQA CORE DECODER
MQA files are unfolded once so the MQA Core stream can be passed onto an MQA renderer product.
