For sale my amazing Meridian 566 24 bit digital to analogue converter. This machine is the original 24 bit not a 20 bit upgraded. It is in good condition and comes with a 13 amp cable and plug. The 566 incorporatesthe best of Meridiansconverter technology including the lowestjitter and brand-new 24-bit conversion. This iswithout doubt one of thefinest soundingconverters.

 
 

 

The Meridian 566 is a stand-alonetwo-channel Digital/Analogueconverter for the 500 Series. Fourinputs are provided including AES/EBUand Toslink optical. Inputs can beselected either from the front-panelswitches or via the Meridian Commsnetwork.The selected input is stabilised viaMeridians proprietary twin phaselock-loop (PLL) which yields the lowestjitter in the industry around 1ps rms.This unique PLL system was pioneeredin the 263, developed further in 563and now has reached a new level ofperformance thanks to numerousdetailed developments.The conversion system in 566 is a newDelta-Sigma true 24-bit converter and isbased on an IC developed by CrystalSemiconductor in consultation withMeridian. The combination of low-jitterclocking and this remarkable converteris a sound that sets new standards fortransparency, sound stage anddynamics.In the 566, for the first time a MeridianDAC has been given Comms capability.This feature allows the 566 to beremotely controlled in a completeMeridian setup.
