These CD players sort of strike me visually, and honestly, likely won't be able to audition either in my system without just buying it. I can see a new Planet locally, heck, maybe a Jupiter too if I call the Importer who is local.
The Meridian was seen online, but may be gone. Really really a nice piece with 20 bit DACs. The Jupiter has the better DACs of the Regas, and of course, is priced accordingly. The same store that has the Jupiter demo has the Meridian.
I know, all the SACD folks will be saying why do I want to buy a redbook player when SACD does so much more? Call me a minimalist, call me a purist, call me foolish I suppose.
Anyway, input welcome were I to get one of these, or some other player. I really can't spend 2 grand on this, as it's just not in the budget.
