An unique selling point Meridian had back in the 2000's was a fully digital Signal path for multich or 2ch dvda hirez. Your hirez data was in most cases turned in to analog after the player , but in a Meridian hifi it could be used by a Meridian processor and speakers still in the digital domain .
The copyright paranoia made it virtually impossible to have full range digital out in the early days of dvda and sacd ? Yes it was that bad . There was cases where early players had a limited resolutin on digital outputs ? Nowadays it been eased up and relaxed by hdmi and companies like oppo and downloads and is a non issue. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
