Should I upgrade my Meridian 508.20 to 24 status


I've owned the Meridian 508.20 since 1996, and I have lived quite happily with it since. I understand I can get it upgraded to 24 bit performance for $749.00. Is it worth it, or should I sell and spend the money elswhere?

OK, maybe I am wacko, but I found the 508.20 to be warm and nice sounding and the 508.24 to be very detailed and analytical (though bobsmith is very correct, not as analytical as the Wadia!).

I will get a 508.20 for old times sake (I have better, more expensive, CD players) because of fond memories I have of it (this is the 'wacko' part :-)

So it depends on your musical preferences: are you bored with your current system? Do you want more detail? Or do you value every bit warmth and listenablility you have in your current system and could not live with one bit less?
