Pricing and availability hasn't been released yet, but don't expect Meridian to make people wait too long.

PRICEY is correct!
Meridian manufactures VERY high-end audio and video equipment. Their "lower-tier" 596 model DVD player retailed for over $4,000 while their "reference" 800 model was priced at $14,500 when it came out.

Meridian is a great company and in the past targets only big business. Recently they have lowered their pricing to include the average person with their MLP encoder products used by hollywierd and professional studios. This is great for the iPod however it is overkill big time as iPods file size format degrades so much to begin with, will it make up the difference, I think not. It's like hooking up a AM transistor radio to Klipsch Horns, just doesn't make sense. But I guess it will perform better then just using your TV's upconversion feature if you have that.
I think this is good. But ill stick to my normal basic video ipod. :)
