What is new with the Memory Player?

"The MP, I believe, will be superceded by a superior PC based device one day. That's just the way of the world. But in the here and now, I've not seen any to take its crown."

It has already been preceded by the VRS Revelation II.

Askat, what does "already been preceded by the VRS Revelation II" mean? There were VRS systems in the past that preceded the MP. Is that all you mean?

No, I mean the VRS II was conceived before the MP, but it will be awhile before it is ready for prime time. It has technology the MP has, software, plus something else that puts it in another league. That will come out in time. No more will be said here.

Because someone was too generous with info before, the MP was born.

Askat, I heard the VRS at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest two years ago. I had heard much earlier at the VSAC in Silverdale, WA. The more recent unit was far superior and Mr. Sanders seemed like a very nice guy with a very convenient product, but then he vanished. I am surprised to hear that he is still in business.

I must also say that I could make very little comment about the sound I heard coming from it at the RMAF as I knew none of the other components.

"FYI, the MP has been compared to many other PC based drives modified by a very brilliant designer here in NYC. In each case, none compared to the MPs sonic capabilities. None! What type of PCs these were are still unclear but I'll say most were hand made by a guy who "promised" to match the MPs internal part for part...down to the operating system. These players had high hopes of entering the market until they were compared to the MP."

CP-

Mahalo for responding, but this doesn't tell us anything about the software or hardware used.

Since you already have a laptop in your listening room serving as a remote for the MP, I suggest you contact Steve at http://www.empiricalaudio.com and ask to try one of his PC to DAC interfaces.

Or you can contact Anthony at Aberdeen Components(mauimods.com) and ask to try one of his modified SD Transporters or his modified Northstar transport. FYI- He feels these units easily outperform your Wadia 270SE. ;-)
