KIS, You might not use TosLink, care about analog, FM etc. but many of us do.

Absolutely. If your gonna run Analog run balanced all around !!!

I use 4 TosLink !!!

I love FM Radio too, in fact I'm looking for G91DH cheap just for it's tuner/controller function in my two channel setup.

You don't need a Meridian transport to use the MultiChannel inputs. Especially the analog ones available on the G68.

I think the 568.2 is a great machine. So is the G68. Depends on your budget.

Your also comparing new vs used prices. Compare new to new and used to used. You can buy used G68's too.

I think G68 with 5200's is a sweet spot as well.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
