What CD for my Plinius Hiato?

I once owned the 9200. Since you narrowed your list of sources to the CD101 and the Meridian G08.2 I'd feel compelled to try the CD101. Unless you can audition each of these sources with the Hiato, you have no clue about the quality of the match between the Meridian and Plinius, but the synergy of the CD101 and the Hiato is basically guaranteed.

Very different sounding players. The Plinius CD 101 does have synergy with Plinius pres/amps, but only because the CD 101 can be very detailed and almost lean while the Plinius pres/amps are on the warmer side. Meridian is warmer and more musical, so depends on what your looking for in a CD player...

BTW,

How do you like the Hiato? Compared it to the 9200?
