Meridian 808.3

TAS (Robert Harley) raves about the 808.3, saying it lacks all glare and steely timbres. Is it that good? The 808.2 got a mixed reaction around here, so is the new one that much better? I don't see much talk about it here or anywhere else.
TAS seems to praise it higher than the (higher priced) EMM XDS1 (on redbook, of course, since the Meridian has no SACD).
Has anyone compared it to a current EMM CDSA-SE?
Thanks in advance.

Emms with all the problems are not worth of trouble,we were comparing them side by side and Emms needed it Oyaide silver cable to shine with Harmonix XLR cable it was dead,no 3D soundstage as on Meridian and it was like you covered speakers with some rag,plain awfull.The owner was screaming on local forum how awfull Meridian was,very funny experience.
