Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
There is a guy who is asking 799.00 but would come down to $600.00. Reports it’s mint with remote. What do you think? Or is a 507 just as good? And what about the 586? Lots of questions…thanks
If it's mint, I'd consider it. Just be aware, there are 3 versions each with different video out types. Check it's the one that works for you if you intend to play DVDs as well. https://www.meridian-audio.info/show.php?compid=155
The 507 is 192kHz / 24 bit and is as good as you can get WRT Red Book playback.
The 586 is the oldest DVD player from Meridian and only plays CD & DVD. It has the older style mechanism.
The 596 is also 192kHz / 24 bit audio for CD and also plays MP3 discs, 96KHz / 24 bit for DVD.

Be warned. It's a slippery slope.
I started with a 206. Eventually got a 506/24. Bought a 557 amp and 501 pre-amp. Sold the 501 for a 568 digital pre-amp. Sold the 557 and speakers for a pair of DSP 5000 (24 bit). Added a 518.
That's served me well for a while but now I'm beginning to think of upgrading the 568 to a G68 or even an 861v4 and DSP 5200 or 5500s.
Good luck.
