Overpriced and overhyped - typical MF. Buy a good one-box player,
ideally a 'universal' like the top Denon or Pioneer models.

Why one box. Provided the output is reclocked from the dac the
two box solution seems to offer a number of practical advantages.

But it's *not* reclocked, which is why it's of necessity inferior.
Check jitter results for even a cheap Sony player against these
so-called 'high end' DACs.

I understood that Meridian dacs buffer the incoming digital data stream
and reclock the anologue output using an internal clock. This is possible
because the timing is implicit in the digital data. Provided it buffers the
incoming data a dac has all the information necessary to output a
jitterless anologue output stream.
