808.2 / 808i.2 Signature Reference CD Players

For a quarter of a century, Meridian has been making the finest audiophile CD players. And now, with the 808.2, we have made our best ever. Robert Harley, editor of The Absolute Sound, reported: “CDs played through the 808.2 and the new DSP7200 active DSP loudspeaker sounded like high-resolution recordings”.

808.2 inherits Meridian’s 25-year tradition of award-winning players, yet sets a whole new benchmark. Most significant is a new, proprietary digital upsampling filter system developed by Meridian and included for the first time in the new 808.2, which adds a new accuracy and clarity to CD replay – even correcting digital faults in the original recording.The 808.2 also includes Meridian's SpeakerLink single-wire interconnect system.

The 808.2 is available as a player only, with digital and analogue outputs, or with a built-in preamp (as the 808i.2) with multiple digital and analogue inputs.
