A Meridian rep was kind enough to bring over a 808.3 so that I could hear in my system today. Not much difference going into my preamp versus what I have, But going directly into my amp balanced, the three of us there were super impressed from the first few notes - what a great sounding unit which must have a wonderful preamp in it as well. Showed me that my current speakers, amps and room could give me much better sound with a reference grade source.
PS Perfect Wave Trans/DAC versus Meridian 808.2
Has anyone been able to compare these two products or comment on either individually as a significant improvement over high quality red book equipment? I am intrigued by the apodosing filters ability to enhance Red Book sound by reducing pre-ringing. And these two products, as far as I know, are the only ones using these filters.
