Looking for a 5.4 system at most and I'd like to work with AES/EBU which googling suggests Meridian's digital connectors output that.
Does optical in from a TV send out a surround signal always or would new videos have DSTX and not have a surround mix they can send over optical?
Am I understanding correctly that Meridian devices like these can output to Genelec 8260 monitors digitally to avoid the extra AD conversion, while also outputting to two analogue surround speakers, and a subwoofer?
Chain would be optical>Meridian>Genelec AES, Kali RCA, Minidsp HD>2 to 4 subwoofers.
I can get a mint condition G91 that also has a CD player which I'm also in the market for... Can it do all this?
Can't find anything else for around $2000-3000, and all surround processors reviewed here seem to be trash, so I'd like to keep everything digital for the main two speakers... Not sure if the Meridian can handle a 4.1 system if I don't have a center.
Any help is appreciated.
