I have a Stan Warren modified D/A. This unit is the next step up from his single player mod. I have not personnaly compared it to the Meridian, but it has beaten up a Sony, Parasound and Audio Research in direct comparison A/B tests.
(Each of the above aforementioned units were between three and five hundred percent more in cost!)
