588 uses a precision DVD-ROM drive to read information from the discs using a technology developed for the Meridian 800 Series. This drive's precise pickup system is optimised for CD and CDR playback.
The data from the disc is checked, corrected and decoded using an extremely powerful digital processing system. Within the data path are three large memory buffers each one in turn establishing smoother data flow so that the final audio has the lowest possible jitter.
These steps all ensure that you can enjoy the highest quality audio from your discs.
Advanced digital and analogue design and construction techniques combine to provide the highest performance. 588 is built using 6-layer PCBs, 7 separate power supplies, the latest surface-mount technology and components which have been carefully selected to optimize sound quality.
The 588 operating software has been developed by Meridian and benefits from our vast expertise on CD navigation, playability and sound quality.
In addition to CD the 588 can replay MP3 discs giving the best access to playback longplaying audio collections on a main system. MP3 discs can include personal albums (MP3 files optionally grouped as albums by directory) on a Recordable CD (CD-R). An RS232 port supports full control of the player and provides for future software updatable.
