I own both pieces.--Actually,one buys the Arcam 27 for its picture quality; I did. I own the Meridian for the sound quality. I have never even put a cd in the Arcam and I never listen to music thru the Meridian. Oh,btw,The Meidian is in quite another class from said Sunfire.
Why Would You...?
With a pre/pro like the Meridian 568, which is basically a digital processor, why would you buy a highly regarded DVD player like an Arcam FMJ27 which has quality DACs. You'd either by-pass the DACs via optical or digital coax or have the processor covert it back to the digital domain. Isn't a high quality transport more fitting? (BTW, I'm thinking outside of the Meridian product line.)
I remember reading somewhere that even if the Sony 9000ES weren't a very good DVD/CD player, its' use as a transport alone was worth the money.
Am I on the right path here?
