It is really a combination cd player, dac and preamp

It's a dac and costs £15000 - $21000
Sorry.
i was thinking of the Meridian 808/V6 which Robert Harley reviewed in Absolute sound. It has all the features I described
Alan
But interestingly..does not support, DSD...and the transport is Redbook CD only.
This is from there site on the Ultra Dac
"The Meridian Ultra is a 384kHz/24-bit dedicated DAC capable of playing virtually any recording format including DXD, DSD64 and DSD128 (DoP), and MQA."
Alan
We have crossed lines here...
YES, the ULTRA DAC, as I said, plays all formats.
The 808..does NOT.
Just to clarify.
why use a $21000 dac as a 'key launch' product for a format designed for low speed streaming, when very good dacs can be had for $5000.And why use that dac to demonstrate MQA only and not MQA against 176/352k material, to demonstrate its capabilities.
As a matter of interest. does the music sound as good without the blue MQA light on?

To be fair, MQA is available on their under $1000 (?) Explorer 2 DAC which was released two months ago.
