Which One box cd player

Thank you for your respond Teajay. In Sydney, Our choices are limited due to our 240 voltage and lack of HI-end suppliers. We could only go with what are avalible with the importers here.
By the way, would anyone knows if a 230v machine will works perfectly with 240v power source?
Cheers.

Yes, a 230V machine will work perfectly with a 240V power system.

Both players would appear good choices. I prefer the Meridian because it's current.

I have heard both, but at different times, in different systems. I liked both of them. I think it is really more a matter of different strenghts rather than one being better than the other. I don't think you can really go wrong here. Obviously, demo them in your system if you can.

Thanks guys. Another thing of interest is UP-sampling. The G08 offers that but the ARC CD3 does not!
Does anybody has anything to say about this?
