The G06.2 maximises audio quality by
reducing jitter to extremely low levels, for
a smooth open, well-defined sound and
pinpoint stereo imaging. This is achieved
by re-clocking the digital outputs and by a
superb direct-coupled audiophile-quality
output stage.
Theplayerutilises192kHz,24-bitdigital
to analogue converters for the very highest
analogue quality, while the internal circuitry
includes a superb analogue design to
complement the high-spec DACs and
delivering 2V rms with less than –95dB noise
and distortion. The result is exceptionally
accurate stereo imaging, and a clear, open
and authoritative sound.
Both S/PDIF coaxial and TOSLink optical
digital outputs are provided, and all audio
cable interfaces are via gold-plated
connectors. An RS232 serial port is provided
for remote control operation. This port can be
used to update the G06.2’s system software,
thanks to Flash ROM storage.
The G06.2 is supplied with the Meridian
System Remote Plus backlit remote
control. This controller not only operates
all appropriate Meridian products; it can
also be used to control the vast majority
of components from other manufacturers,
thanks to its built-in product library that
includes literally hundreds of manufacturers.
And if a product is not in the database, it can
be added via the remote’s learning function.
The G06.2 is an ideal player for many
applications, such as an integrated analogue
stereo system comprising the G06.2 CD
player and the G51 receiver (see illustration,
right). The G06.2’s coaxial digital outputs will
drive Meridian DSP loudspeakers directly to
form a superb quality all-digital stereo CD
replay system.
