Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems


Capitole MKII users, kindly update on the sonic virtues but also on any repeated technical problems. No forum postings since a week! Have these problems stopped? I understand that some units needed a software update; have these been recalled? Does the performance justify the high price? Please contribute.

I've only had mine about 12 hours and its sounds tremendous to say the least. Very non-digital and very inviting. Can't wait to see what happens over the next 200-300 hours.

I have the new chip, but my player will not read CD-R or CD-RW. Anyone else experiencing this? I've been asked by my dealer to contact Globe Marketing directly about the problem.

Would be interested in knowing if anyone else is having success or failure on CD-R's. Thanks

I'm from Mauritius, which is closer to France than the US. There are no AA dealers in my country; the unit was purchased in France and I did not want to risk it having problems and only then act. I talked to Mr Combelles of Audio Aero who understood my apprehension and was very kind to offer me a straight swap. Maybe my French did the trick!
Mine DOES play CD/R's how ever it wouldn't read one of my Shefield disk's last evening, it is in very good condition(the disk) but no luck. I'll try again tonight. ~Tim
Ive managed to read CDRs fine on my player. Have you tried different brands of CDRs ?

I know however that you will have less problems with CDRs that have been burned at 1x or 2x.

Cheers
