Meridian’s new 210 Streamer is a handy audio ‘endpoint’ that is designed to be used to stream music to predominantly Meridian systems but can be connected to any hifi via the digital output.
The 210 usefully allows the connection of streaming services as typically used on smartphones, tablets and other devices to be played through a digital based system: services supported include Bluetooth and Spotify Connect. In addition, the 210 is also a Roon-ready device and can decode MQA files. It can be used on its own with Meridian’s DSP loudspeakers to create a very simple system, or as part of a complete Meridian set-up.
With aptX HD Bluetooth, the Meridian 210 supports highest quality streaming.
Synchronises the volume controls of Bluetooth devices, playback apps, the Meridian system and third-party control across the system.
Effortless set up and control with the Meridian Control app for IOS and Android.
Digital Aux output makes the Meridian 210 compatible with third party DACs.
