What is new with the Memory Player?


I have read that this player is the next great source at the online mags. Have others heard this player and is it currently being sold? What are the impressions of those who have heard this machine? Any information would be nice since I have read almost nothing other than what is contained in the magazines. Bob

Audio Doctor update.

After living with the Memory Player for a little while, here are my observations:

1: Sound quality is remarkable and actually mirrors many of the qualities of a really good vinyl front end.

2: GUI is very primitive.

3: Operation can be improved.

4: Build quality is okay and needs improvement.

But even with those caveats I can not recommend this thing enough! I have for the first time found digital to be as involving as a really good analog system and in some ways superior.

The absence of noise, clicks and pops and the easy of digital combined with the soundstaging of analog and an sense of musical involvement that analog gives, makes me so excited to have a Memory Player.

It is also refereshing to find that so many reviewers are right on the money.
Audiooracle,
Thanks for your response. I have a couple of questions regrding you post starting with what is GUI? Could you elaborate on the rest of your system that you used with the Memory player? What are the better transports have you used which pale in contrast to the Memory player. Lastly, what dac or dacs did you use with the Memory Player? Bob
A GUI is a Graphic User Interface ie the connected part of man and machine, ie Windows any version and of course the MAC!

In the case of the Memory Player designed by propeller heads for propeller heads.

In our showroom we are running the Memory Player into an Audio Aero Prestige which is in itself is a remarkable cd player.

With the Prestige's built in DAC we can switch between built in optical and external Memory drives. In every way the Memory Player bests the optical reader.

If you stop and think about the built in optical player should have no jitter as it is a direct read from the laser to the DAC vs, a long external digital cable and connection jacks, but the superiority of the Memory Player is huge and is a different world of realism and involvement.
FYI, I haven't received my memory player yet, it has been delayed until next week or possibly the week after. Reason for the delay is a switch they want to make to a cabinet given some reported issues with the current touch screen.
I'm glad that they are being proactive about this.
