What is new with the Memory Player?

"Also Mr. Perry and his staff have tested EAC copies vs the Memory Player and again there is no contest."

Audiooracle-

What PC playback set-up(s) did they use?

Kana813 - Good point. If the Kmixer isn't bypassed or there's a lousy driver, the sound won't be great. And IMHO EAC playback isn't as good as JRiver or Foobar with a good DirectSound driver. With the right software setup and output via, e.g., USB to a decent USB converter or via S/PDIF to a decent reclocker, the playing field should be leveled.

Audiooracle - Thanks. Interesting to know they made the comparison. Are there any dealers in the Chicago area?

Bigamp,
I am also a resident of the Windy City and would like to find out if this product will be available for a local audition. Bob

Me too.

Not to start a forest fire, but I'd like to hear someones impressions comparing the
MP against an APL NWO 2.5T in the near future.

"The Memory Player's 32BIT DAC has NO onchip gain" This is a quote from the MP manufacturer web site.

Ever since the MP was introduced a 32 bit DAC is claimed. To my knowledge, at the time MP was introduced, none of the current DAC manufacturers had a 32 bit DAC chip to offer, and they still don’t.

The part "...NO onchip gain" is also interesting since, again to my knowledge, there is no DAC chip available with gain, many provide attenuation in the digital domain but none offer gain.

Anyone cares to explain? I'd appreciate it.

Regards,
Alex
