Meridian debut the 808.3 Reference CD player (CES 2010)

January 23, 2010

Highlights

Quality without compromise, the Reference 808.3 CD player is a no compromise design offering the highest quality pre-amplifier in the range. Flexibility without performance limitations come from the ability to stream audiophile sound from their music server using proprietary Speaker Link technology input from a Sooloos control 10.

For more conventional inputs, it has 6 pairs of analogue, 3 digital Co-Axial and 2 Optical inputs. There is a balanced analogue output for high quality noise free connection and the usual analogue, digital and speaker Link for connection to their active digital speaker system

The real breakthrough is the incorporation of the ID40 card allowing streaming over the network of the Sooloos control music server. It offers audiophile quality by using their proprietary Apodizing filter which samples the signal and increases quality. This in turn can be sent out via a Speaker link digital connection to a compatible Meridian speaker system or conventional analogue.

Available in a silver or black finish to match existing models.
