MERIDIAN 210 STREAMER LAUNCHED
The Meridian 210 Streamer has been released and enables smooth streaming from mobile devices as well as being Roon Ready.
Meridian has looked at streaming stats, and the results informed the Brit hi-fi brand that a slick, fuss-free music streamer was needed. Furthermore, as Spotify ranked highest amongst the platforms, being kitted out with Spotify Connect was a must.
The resulting Meridian 210 Streamer boasts both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless connectivity with volume and playback controls synchronised between streaming apps and the Meridian system.
Control and configuration are handled by the Meridian Control app, as well as any connected Meridian systems.
Streaming Skills
The aluminium case is fitted with non-metallic panels to allow for Wi-Fi functionality via the unit's pair of internal antennae.
As well as music being fed to the new Streamer via Spotify, the 210 also allows music to be accessed through Bluetooth and DLNA/UPnP and is Roon Ready.
Naturally, the 210 Streamer will slurp up content from USB storage and made available to networked media players and renderers. It can also be connected directly to a pair of DSP loudspeakers or to any system via a SpeakerLink input. That is especially handy for those already rocking Meridian audio systems. Moreover, you can connect your existing DAC via the 210's digital coax output.
Finally, the Meridian 210 Streamer also sports a built-in MQA decoder allowing you to enjoy Master Quality Authenticated tunes fully unwrapped. MHR (Meridian High Resolution) ensures that your hi-res audio is handled without degradation in quality.
Price and availability
The Meridian 210 Streamer is available now, priced at £800.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
