Using 518 with DSP Loudspeakers
As the diagram shows, a 518 can be placed between the 562 and the
Meridian DSP speakers. In this case, the 518 is used – very much as it is
for the earlier CD example – to provide further de-jittering and resolution
enhancement. The Meridian DSP speakers can read 22 bits on the input
and have analogue de-emphasis, so 518 can significantly improve the
sound of this system.

Because 518 does not pass on subcode, the time display feature on
DSP5000 or DSP6000 becomes disabled. However the Meridian Comms
system keeps the speaker updated on the current track number.
Meridian Surround improvement
The Meridian 565 is a world-beating surround decoder. One of its unusual
features is the ability to accept digital signals directly to the DSP
decoding. This means, for example, that the signal from a LaserDisc can
be passed without the distortion of in-built (and often inferior) DACs and
results in a substantially improved sound.
The Meridian 565 can drive DSP, active or conventional loudspeakers in
any combination.

Using 518 with a 565 Digital Surround Processor
Whatever the output configuration, the 518 should be placed before the
565 Digital Surround Processor – so that the precision of the inputs
(normally 16 bit) can be matched to the 20 bit input capability of 565.
