I also still have the California Audio Labs Alpha DAC boxed up. On the secondary market when one shows up it doesn't last long.

Back in the day the Meridian really was one of the smoothest CDPs out there. No wonder anyone used to the sound of the Meridian would find just about anything else forward and bright sounding. I know, I had two Meridian CDPs back in those days and they spoiled me with their rich and laid back presentation.
