Introduction

The 507 Compact Disc Player combines Meridian’s extensive experience of producing audiophile compact disc players with their experience in applying state-of-the-art digital signal processing techniques to audio equipment, resulting in an outstanding compact disc player that takes full advantage of the capabilities of compact disc.

The 507 uses a precision CD-ROM drive, with the data read asynchronously and then triple buffered to isolate output timing from the mechanics of the drive. The data is also dejittered using very precise master oscillators to give a clear, open, authoritative sound. The digital signal is decoded using the latest 192kHz 24-bit dual-differential Delta Sigma digital-to-analogue converter, combined with a discrete class A output for superlative audio performance.

For instructions on setting up the unit turn to Setting up the compact disc player, page 15. Once the compact disc player has been set up refer to the next chapter, Using the compact disc player, for information about playing discs.
