No, that can't be true. I can not believe it.
My god, actually the X-Meridian with the updated opamps sounded better than my Arcam AVP700.

The Arcam sounded excellent but the X-Meridian is beyond excellence. I can find the words to describe the analog out of the X-Meridian. The words that come to my mind are purity, finest, crystal clear.

No, No, No. I need more A/B test. But, so far, one thing for sure the $189+14%Taxes (CAD) x-Meridian will put back around $2000CAD in my pocket when I sell my Arcam Processor. :-)

I solve the Asio issue. But it worth mentioning that It is actually a bug in the X-Meridian Asio driver. They have set the asio default bit depth to 24 which is imcompatible with some Asio applications. The solution for now is to find a small utility called AsioCaps in order to set the bit depth to 16-bit and latency to 4ms+
