Meridian Audio announces the 818V3 Reference Audio Core-- an addition to the 800 Reference series the company describes as the ultimate home audio system hub.
The flagship preamplifier includes triple FIFO buffering, DSP unsampling and apodising filters, a linear power supply and a master oscillator promising 40% less jitter for further improved audio performance. Connectivity includes Meridian SpeakerLink, enabling ultimate quality and convenience when driving Meridian DSP loudspeakers, as well as RCA and XLR outputs for connection with non-Meridian components.
One 818V3 addition is a new analog output card featuring an upgraded circuit with filtering to broaden bandwidth and maximise high-resolution audio potential. It also supports MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) sources for true studio quality replay, together with lip-sync control and DSD (DoP) playback.
The 818V3 is available in either standard black or, for an extra charge, a choice of 270 colours.
