In this thread, more technical details of layout/topology and internal images were requested for the Ayre QB-9 D/A processor. The thread evolved quite nicely and, IMO, definitely serves a need for technophiles as well as the more-curious general reader.
Can someone repeat this for the Meridian 808.2 CD player?
Let me get the ball rolling with these top-cover-off images I found on the German web site, stereoplay.de



(Hats off to stereoplay.de for going the distance. Frankly, given the convenience and ergonomics of modern, digital point-and-shoot cameras, images like the ones above should be standard practice in product reviews -- especially ones that ask the reader/consumer to accept such a high-price item).
