What is new with the Memory Player?

There are many small recording companies that are getting ready to start putting full rez files online. You already have Music Giants and Linn Records doing it. Also don't forget High Definition Tape Transfers. We are truely entering into a world with no more limitations when it comes to music playback. I have been waiting on this for so long!

As of 2005 Accustic Arts of Germany claimed the first 32bit/384khz oversampling DAC and they now are claiming 66 bit technology.So what is all the fuss over bit count- it's the sound stupid. I don't sell Memory Players- but the MP with DAC is the best digital I have heard and by a long shot- exceeding my former personal references- dCS and EMM labs and by a significant margin, and just last week besting a local high-end dealers personal home 43K Zanden Transport/DAC combo.

Audio_tweakers,
Have you heard the Accustic Arts Dac Mk IV? if so, what is it about the MP (and what DAC was connected) that beat it? Thx

Ted,
I have the same exact question. Bob

At HE2007 the Memory Player in combination with the Scaena arrays had the rare combination of treble sweetness with fine detail & extension, and dynamic authority on top of dead-calm relaxation. Less rolled off than Zanden, and less agressive than DCS and most of the other uber-players. Unfortunately I couldn't maneuver myself into the sweet spot, which was occupied for far too long by a very large man gesticulating like some wild Ahab about the demo sounding like "Copland on acid." Must have sounded very good indeed in the captain's chair.
