The G Series CD Players incorporate advanced design – both digital and analogue. Multi-layer PCBs, multiple power supplies, the latest surface-mount technology, carefully selected audiophile-quality components, and of course Meridian’s signature quality design and manufacturing.

At the heart of the CD players is a robust, high-speed slot-loading DVD-ROM drive. Although it normally runs at standard CD speed, the drive is capable of spinning the disc much faster, allowing multiple high-speed re-reads to ensure accurate recovery of data from even the most difficult disc. This feature alone provides ten times the error correction of a conventional CD player.

The G Series CD Players are able to play virtually any compact disc, from conventional pressings to CD-R and CD-R/W. In addition, the players will replay most hybrid discs, as well as DTS CDs for external decoding via the digital outputs.

The CD players employ a buffering system to reduce jitter, which maximises high-frequency transparency and stereo image precision and stability. This is achieved by re-clocking the digital outputs and using a superb direct-coupled audiophile-quality output amplifier. 

The G Series CD Players utilise 192kHz, 24-bit capable digital to analogue converters for the very highest analogue quality, while the internal circuitry includes a superb analogue design that complements the high-spec DACs and delivers 2V RMS with less than -90dB noise and distortion. The result is dramatic stereo imaging, and a clear, open, and authoritative sound.

S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface, IEC 60958) digital outputs are provided, and both optical (TOSlink/EIAJ) and coax digital formats are included. All audio cable interfaces use gold-plated connectors.

An RS232 serial port is provided for remote control operation. This port can be used to update the CD player’s system software, thanks to Flash ROM storage.
