Sooloos Media Source 600
The Meridian Sooloos Media Source 600 offers a cost-effective way to expand your Sooloos system with additional zones. It serves as an excellent digital-to-analog converter upgrade, especially when paired with a Sooloos Control 15. This high-fidelity endpoint integrates seamlessly into your network, providing high-quality audio output comparable to Meridian's G08 CD player. It utilizes advanced upsampling and apodising filters for superior sound reproduction, requiring a network core like the Media Core 200 or Control 15 to function.

What customers say
