Latest Meridian Audio Core
Meridian Audio has introduced the 818v3 Reference Audio Core, the latest version of their home audio system hub. This third generation machine offers significant performance improvements over its predecessor and, in keeping with Meridian’s inclusive engineering discipline, offers an upgrade path to existing 818 owners.
A proud member of the Meridian 800 Reference Series, the 818V3 is an exceptional reference preamplifier. Featuring Meridian enhancement technologies, such as triple FIFO buffering, DSP unsampling and apodising filters, this model also incorporates an advanced linear power supply and a new master oscillator with 40% lower jitter for further improved audio performance. The extensive connectivity counts Meridian SpeakerLink, enabling ultimate quality and convenience when driving Meridian DSP loudspeakers, as well as balanced and single-ended pre-amplifier outputs to effortlessly connect with non-Meridian electronics.
A key addition to the 818V3 is its new analogue output card featuring an upgraded circuit with filtering that broadens the bandwidth and maximises the potential of high-resolution music. This latest model fully supports decoding of MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) sources for true studio quality replay and also features lip-sync control and DSD (DoP) playback.
