Does the Meridian 508.24 invert absolute phase?

Is this different than the + / - phase you can change via remote control?

If you do that and the display says "+" then it is not inverting phase (if that is even the right word). I have never heard of a cd player that does, just some preamps. So, if you had an AI or CJ preamp and you inverted phase with the meridian remote (to "-"), and didnt have another source, you could leave your speaker cables wired positive to positive.

This is not the same as inverting absolute phase. It is more similar to reversing the AC plug polarity, which is also not the same as inverting absolute phase. I use to own the Rotel RCD-990 that does this. (The RCD-991 does not.)
