For over 20 years, Meridian has created

superior optical disc players that have

delivered better and better sound quality

with each successive generation, keeping

step with continually improving digital

recording and disc mastering techniques.

Important milestones were the identifi cation

and near-eradication of player design

problems including jitter, mechanical

feedback, servo instability, playability,

converter linearity and interface design,

along with support for DVD-Audio.

Bob Stuart, Meridian’s chief designer, was

heavily involved in the evolution of audio

formats for DVD – resulting in MLP (Meridian

Lossless Packing) being selected as the

defi nitive coding system for the DVD-Audio

format. It should therefore be no surprise

that Meridian’s design team has brought the

full benefi t of their experience to the 800

Series Version 4.

Meridian also brought important

psychoacoustic and psychovisual insights to

the design of the 800. As a result the 800

Version 4 Reference Optical Disc Player is

able to offer sound and picture quality that is

second to none.
