Nothing really new .
Meridian realised in the early 90's that the way forward was digital
active DSP controlled speakers ( other realised that active speakers was
needed in the 60-70's ormpossiblynearlier for pa ) .
The Meridian speakers are not perfect I'm not saying that what I have is

Yep. And especially... With a good active speaker design it's not just
cables. If you do this right you don't need (and don't WANT) DACs,
preamps, power amps, DSPs and all that other stuff that

I have one of the small models as computer speakers

Yes, I do. Although there's certainly much more potential for good sound
quality than what they offer but for the size they have it's a good
start.

Right concept but in the speaker design they do pretty much everything
that article condemns. Bass-reflex, putting speakers WITHIN a housing
and so on... It's the same kind of integrated approach but I wouldn't
expect superior

It's a Stig Carlsson
Yea, but if you read the article it's EXACTLY the kind of speaker design
that completely ignores phase and impulse response.

an accidental discovery-perhaps others have already commented on this,
but it was new, and a surprise, to me.

integrated. Transporter is connected via ethernet, as is a 4-5 y/o mac

Could be just power supply improvement. I do believe this can make a
difference. Given your hi-fi is in effect modulating the power supply,
it isn't beyond the bounds of reason anyway (even if designers try to
design out susceptibility to common problems).
Check it, add to it!
If you are sending the same bits to the touch it should not make a
difference where it is coming from. With or without itunes integration.
Either 1. you are not really hearing this. I suggest a double blind
test to be sure.
Or 2. there must be something else that has changed. Maybe volume
Sorry I actually misread the comment about the analog rig - thought that
it had improved also. If not, then replay gain etc is a good candidate.

Part III with people's subjective descriptions and testimony about how
easy or hard this test was is now up...
Also some final thoughts and a link to the Pono advert for come contrast
and comparison.

i don't use replay gain.
i'm really hearing it; just don't have an explanation for it. to be
sure, i don't really need an
Two more choice quotes from the article:
The rarity of such devices suggests that the reasons are not technical
and that the application of logic is absent: almost the definition of
audiophile behaviour.

serious constraints
