Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems

I installed the P3 chip in my player last evening. Not a simple task. It did, however, clear up the problems I've stated earlier in this thread. I've found everything that Darrell states to be fact. Thanks Darrell.

The best part of all.....this player sounds great and those pesky little quirks are all just a fading memory ..........AHHH

Umm, what's all the kvetching about? The player sounds great.

Has anybody tried the Mark II with a quality transport? I recall an earlier post claiming Capitole MKI + Esoteric P2 transport to upset the MKI player on its own.

Well, I'm embarrased to state that my Capitole, fed by a Micromega Stage 6 CD player as transport, produces (in my system) a more musical, smoother and more seductive sound than on its own! It took only a few seconds even for my wife to spot that! My Capitole is fully burnt in with about 600 hrs on it. I'd be interested in having your feedback.

stay tuned Theta data III transport coming this week will report findings.

I can't understand why some people are selling their MKII's after only a few weeks. Remember, it takes at least 500hrs to get a good feel of what the player is capable of.
