I have a G91 driving a Meridian 5.1 system. There is a huge difference between the G91 and various Sony/Pioneer DVD players that I've tried. I almost stopped listening before investing in the G91 and now it's on all the time. I recall the analog days when Linn were saying it's all in the front end. Certainly true in my experience. Good luck from JimK
