Meridian 500 series 2ch device would be 502 preamp + CD players such as 507 or 508.24 or 588...

How do the DACs on 507/508.24/588 compare to the DAC on 568?

[508.24 CDP + 502 preamp] vs [508.24 CDP + 568, digital connection]; which will sound better?
This Meridian is a HT processor----A great one; but not a 2ch device. I would say there are many 1 box players that would better it, such as John Tuckers' 3910 or maybe even his older 2900.
