About the 588
The Meridian 588 is a premium compact disc player from 2001, succeeding the 508 model. It employs a DVD-ROM drive (DVS DSL-710A) for superior error correction, lower jitter via multiple buffer stages, and supports CD, CD-R, and MP3 formats. Featuring 192kHz/24-bit Delta Sigma DACs (AD1852), it delivers exceptional detail and soundstage. Construction includes 6-layer PCBs and 7 separate power supplies. Connections encompass balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analog outputs, coaxial SPDIF, optical Toslink digital outputs, and RS232 for control and firmware updates. It includes a system remote control. No longer manufactured, with the G08 as its successor.
