Meridian G08.2 black

Meridian never does things halfway. We present the G08.2, an improved version of the already high-performing G06.2. Multiple enhancements set this player apart from its little brother.

For example, digital signal management is handled by a DSP (digital signal processor), where the original musical data from the Audio CD (in the form of a 16-bit/44.1 kHz stream) is converted to a 24-bit/176.4 kHz resolution. The advantage of this “upsampling” process is that it brings a certain analog quality to digital CD music.

In terms of connectivity, the G08.2 clearly displays its high-end positioning by offering the possibility of pairing with elite products equipped with XLR balanced inputs. This connection, which uses a hot point, a cold point, and a ground, eliminates interference while taking sound reproduction to a higher level.

The G08.2 is not just a technological showcase, but a “passion” device that brings a natural character to music. It does not merely reproduce your CDs in an exaggeratedly analytical and surgical manner.

A must-have dedicated to audiophiles in search of “the” source.
