"Fanz, you should talk to Bob, everything he does is to help provide a more acurate sound, and not all discs are perfect. "

I strongly disagree. Music, Trifield and others, can be extremely pleasurable, but they are not more accurate than listening to the CD as recorded. It's not a purist application, and I'm wary about what else Meridian does after the signal is read. Are upsampling, filtering and resolution enhancement revealing more of the recording, or are they making the sound more pleasurable? Is there anything at all being added when Meridian applies its "special sauce"?

I get more joy from stereo than surround sound these days. It's just more 3 dimensional and real compared to the source. The music sounds clearer though not as smooth when upsampling is turned off in my opinion.
