G91 2 channel analog out final report
-------------------------------------

Confirmed with Meridian that everything is working correctly wrt upsampling. Gone now are any last traces of over brightness on CDs. I'm sure software v1.27 made as much difference again as the first 50 hours of break-in.

Also, I obtained a few DVDAs from Amazon. Although its a challenge navigating to find the 2MLP tracks without a display attached, as a 2 channel audio only player the G91 excels.

And on DVDA's with 2MLP/96 kHz it sounds simply astounding. Final movement of Beethovens 9th/Barenboim at volume 75 was quite an experience, even in 2 channels. In 5.1 or 7.1 it must be religious.

Via analog outputs and as Type 0 (Analog preamp) alone this player earns its very substantial price. And to think I have surround sound and video all to look forward to.

G91 highly recommended for 2 channel audio. I'm definitely keeping these units (G91 and G57) I've had at home on evaluation. Peachy with my B&W Nautilus 804s.

Now back to the music (and saving up for more channels...and the G68)
