Has anyone heard meridian No 51


I am new to the high end audio world, but have jumped in with both feet. I am interested in best quality 2 channel CD playback, but need the ability to play dvd(SACD not important at this time). I currently have Lexicon RT-20, and am willing to keep it for DVD if I cannot find a one box CD/DVD that meets my needs. As always, I like to spend as little as posible, but will entertain products under $20K.

Associated equiptment:
Theta casablanca 3 processor
Wilson Maxx 2
BAT VK 150 monolocks

Thanks so much for your ideas.

Use your Casablanca as the DAC for the RT-20. Buy a $80 digital Cable....Done.

You will be hard pressed to beat the Casablanca as a two channel DAC especially when you have to run whatever player you get through the Casablanca anyway!
I am doing that now (running the RT-20 digitally through the Theta DACs. Are you suggesting that no player (i.e. Levinson 51 on analog bypass) will outperform digital link and Theta extreme DAC? I do have a mediocre digital cable however. I am about to audition a couple. Any thoughts? No mega buck digital cable?
