Does anyone know how the Tag AC3 mod compares with separated stand alone boxes like the Meridian 519? [I like to keep upto date ]
I can report a fine working AC3 upgrade to my AV32. I have not yet experienced the Meridian 519 you quoted. The only experience is a Denon AV amp built in AC3 demodulator. In my opinion the TAG AC3 mod works fine and you spare another box kickin about. The only advantage I see in a separate box is furture compability of your system. So if you would choose or be forced to depart with the TAG you would a demodulator short.
Wanted ad in the classified section if anyone has one of these boards they are no longer using. Shameless plug but you guys are the only ones who are likely to be able to help.
