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.

How do you guys access the digital input(s)? I know how to switch from cd playing to say coax digital input and the display changes and tells me what input it is using but I still get no sound- I am not sure if I am missing something the instruction book is pretty vague when it describes this process. I can adjust volume I can switch the inputs but I still get no results- I am quite confused! Any insight would be super, thanks. ~Tim
Just been told from my dealer that there is a new P3 chip for the Audio Aero MkII. Don't know what it does yet, but will keep you posted.

Cheers
Tim, regarding the digital, you need to provide the AA Capitole with a digital source such as another transport..etc. I use satellite music, feed it to the coax and the Cap resamples it to 24/192 and outputs it via the analog outs (XLR/RCA)

Its a great feature !.. this allowed me to get rid of my DAC as basically that is what this is. The only thing I do not like is the loud clicking I hear if I change satellite chns. When the Cap looses sync of the digital input.. it clicks ..like a loud relay..

How long does to take to break-in, particularly the top-end?
Is everyone running it direct?
Matt- Thanks for your insight, though my problem is that I am trying to use the capitole as a DAC/pre for my DVD source and I feed it a co-ax digital input and I switch it to co-ax input on the capitole I get nothing. I was wondering if I was missing something?? I have heard the mechanical relay clicks, I just get no sound. Thanks in advance for any further help.

Gladstone- I am going to say your damn close to being broken in after 14 days of playing 24 hours a day- it starts getting good at around 7 days but it takes a while to get the last little bit. I am running direct and plan to in the future as well.
