My vote is for the Meridian 508.24 (if you are going to be using a preamp, otherwise it sounds like the Resolution Audio player would be great) There is no way that the 506.20 sounds better than the 508.24, I have heard both head to head and the 506.20 sounds broken compared to the 508.24. The 506.20 has been replaced by the 506.24, which sounds significantly better. If you can find one for around 2000.00 I don't think you are going to find a better player than the 508.24
