Cant understand Meridian Gear

Need some help understanding Meridian. First of all I'd like to purchase a 5.1 or similar processor preamp...don't care about video switching etc. I've looked at the Meridian gear, but can't figure out what the difference is in their units. Is it a fully decoding and functioning Pre processor or not? Some units are labeled as controllers, but they require an additional unit for DAC, don't know? Are some units stand alone? I have some monoblock amps, bluray player and speakers. Need to know which used Meridian to buy (single Unit only) Thanks

Some may only output digital because they are intended to be connected to Meridian's DSP loudspeakers. Any of the recent models with analog outputs would seem to do.

However, none will decode the HD codecs and many will require the add-on HD621 to implement HDMI input.

For expert assistance, you might consider posting your query at http://www.meridianunplugged.com/
