Hi,
I own a Meridian 206 Delta Sigma CD player (Crystal CS4328 chip) since 1993. It sounded and sounds today great
and I'm very satisfied with it.
I'm going to use my 206DS with a new headphone amplifier and I have to choose one of the two versions of the amp:
one with input capacitors (4.7uF polypropylene) and other (better
sounding) without these input caps. I need to know if
the Meridian 206Delta Sigma CD player has DC blocking output
capacitors, like many others CD players, or not.
If I can confirm that the 206DS has output caps, I'll use
the capacitor-less version of the headphone amplifier,
the option I prefer. If not, I need to buy the other
version of the amp for safe use without the risk of
amplify any possible DC offset coming from 206DS
outputs.
I have searched in several forums and I've sent an e-mail to Meridian Audio without results, so I'd be very grateful if you could answer to my question, or give some advice on this
subject.
Regards
Jose
