Interesting to see this discussion has popped up, as I see it also coming back over here in some forums now with the introduction / distribution of the PLAYBACK players developed by Andreas Koch (CH), also with Apodising. Obviously DSD is not as dead as some people think it is.

However I share the believe that was mentioned here before. I also want the most out of my system, and as much as I loved Meridian to follow Surround Standards quickly some year ago, I also would like especially for music to be able to feed it all into any of their processors. The same is true for the USB support of formats. If my G68 would have one.

Cheers, Andreas
