G06.2

24-bit Compact Disc Player

G06.2 rear panel

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.
