MLP with Arcam DV79 & Meridian 561M

The MLP is only on the disc. The Arcam cannot output it and, in fact, Meridian's own players cannot either. The only way to get it out is with 6 analog connections and, if the Meridian 561 lacks such an input, you cannot do it with this combination.

The way the Meridian 561M can do this is with Meridian 596 or 800 DVD players using the proprietary MHR digital interconnections.

Sorry.

I was under the impression that MLP was a form of DD/DTS---empeg decoding scheme.---in the digital form.

No. MLP (you can look it up) is a lossless compression having nothing (in theory) to do with DD or DTS. So far as I know, it is used exclusively with DVD-A and mostly, but not exclusively, with multichannel DVD-A. Also, as with SACD, there are severe restrictions on its unencrypted digital output.

I own Meridian stuff and they were talking about the MLP 8 years ago------Long beore sacd/dvd-a.

They talked about MLP while others were talking about DVD-A and SACD. MLP became a real product as part of DVD-A.
