The 508.24 ?
Happy Listening!

jafant: I will keep the Meridian but haven't looked into an upgrade. Meridian no longer makes single-box CD players, only an "Ultra DAC" which costs 23k. The 508.24 is a great machine, well worth what I paid for it ($3495) in 1998, but it's almost 24 years old now, and the laser and transport will not last forever. I'll keep you posted on what I end up buying, but the Bryston BCD-3 is the front-runner.

It is sad that Meridian left single-box player owners. I would think that this company would continue making spinners to promote their MQA technology?  24 years (and counting is not a bad run- at all).Yes, keep me posted on your purchase decision.IMO, Bryston, should have incorporated SACD playback in the BCD-3.Perhaps this company is working on the next generation spinner- BCD-4?

Happy Listening!

Your Cd purchase thread is really taking off! Many,excellent suggestions in the  posts.  Who says "CD is dead?" Or SACD for that matter?

Happy Listening!
