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.

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

IT is very simple to find out if you have the new chip or not.Remove the cover with an allen key.You will see a chip with an orange dot.If it has just the dot with no writing(it should say p2(in hand written ink) which is the new chip)) than you have the old chip.

Sattothestars: Thanks for your input. I thought I had the new chip since my player says: "READING CD". I guess maybe I don't. However, I have not had any other problems, other than its inability to read the CD-R's.

I have the new chip, but burned a CD-R at 1X and it will not play in the Capitole. According to Globe Marketing, it's because my CD burner (Marantz DR 6050) is not recording to the exact Red Book standard.
