You may be using the same DAC! The Memory Player's DAC is still in development and is not shipping at this time, maybe they had designed it with this chip in mind and had a preproduction sample, just like you.
I will find out from George.
I find it rather interesting that Kana made this post about the 32bit DAC suddenly being here and then APLhifi came in to to say they are using it, when you first questioned how could Nova Physics be using a 32bit dac when they don't exist, well clearly they do.
Does Kana work for you? Your attacks on the Memory Player and this sudden shift to promote your product is rude.
Alex I don't care how expensive or magnificent your products are, Optical playback is inferior and can not no matter what compensate for the ECC related problems and recreated data that optical playback generates.
The entire industry will be adopting over time a hard drive based playback model it is superior, it is jitter free, and it makes cataloging music easy.
Why don't you move to the future and create your own version of the memory player? If you are so smart to beat Mark Porzilli, the man who at age 12 was designing technology for Baush and Lomb, then prove it, for your edification here is a bit about Mark:
Mark Porzilli, a former child prodigy, was able to wire simple circuits and draw schematics at age 5. He completed a masters level education in Physics, Quantum Mechanics and Chemistry at age 14, after winning a national competition to miniaturize electronic circuitry for Bausch & Lomb at age 12. That same year, he designed biofeedback electronics for several New Jersey hospitals, and
entered two state science fairs, winning first place in both. A scholar of religious philosophy and a prolific artist/
By strange coincidence, new designs in LASER seems to be a 'family tradition'. Anthony Porzilli, Mark's father, was the chief electronics technician under Lucio Vallese at ITT Laboratories during his pioneering work on the Ruby Laser, in the early 1960s. He
recalls the extremely precise polishing of "barrels" of rubies, until a single frequency of light ONLY could pass through them!
Mark designed all of Melos Audio's solid state and vacuum tube
products with George Bischoff from 1979-1999. He is also the
designer of the original, award winning Pipedreams Loudspeakers.
He is the designer of the new Scaena Line Source Loudspeakers
as well.
In its 20 year history, Melos Audio garnered over 200 rave reviews
from 30 countries, on six continents. Melos won Stereophile's
"Product of the Year" for its legendary SHA-1 Headphone
Amplifier and "Editor's Choice" in The Absolute Sound. The
original Pipedreams won TAS' "Golden Ear" too.
Mr. Porzilli and Mr. Bischoff are true pioneers in the field and have a proven track record of producing excellent products and creating great sound. Melos was a company that was booming in the 90's and was lauded by many magazines for their great sound and engineering prowess.
Why digress, because a company is as only as good as the people behind it and these two men are both gentleman with knowledge and talent.
You are only focusing in on the DAC side of the equation, a DAC can only perform with the data it is given 32bit or 24bit is almost immaterial when you are dealing with ECC corrupted data you are over before you've begun.
The Memory Player as wells as the VDS are the first audiophile products to address this new model. Wake up fellow audiophiles Memory Playback is vastly superior to optical reading it is that simple and yes it is that much better!
