What is new with the Memory Player?

Scaena! and DGarretson,
Thanks. Soooo, the MP player DAC is indeed completed and has been evaluated/listened to? I guess I thought it was still in planning/development stages. Has anyone gotten a handle on what the DAC compares with (i.e does it hold up to the Behold and other DACs it's been wed to)? I'm just trying to understand what part of this reported sonic revelation is the MP transport/software and what part is the internal DAC or the very hi-end DACs it's been seen with.

Maybe my post wasn't clear. The DAC's design has been finished for some time, what is stopping shipment has been chassis issues.

Originally the DAC was planned to be internal and now the DAC is going to reside in a similar box which goes under the transport. This will allow for more hard drive space in the Transport for redundant storage.

As per the 32bit chip set I will have to find out, but I loved what Audio Tweekers said, how many bits you are using in processing is really immaterial, it is how the device sounds is what matters.

Sorry but Audiooracle is mistaken. Scaena used the MP with tubed output DAC at CES. It was a pre-production prototype to the extent that the production models would have different (better cosmetics), have some software improvements that make library titling and extraction easier, and thankfully remote control of volume. The DAC circuitry is in ONE BOX. I am awiting my own personal MP with 32 bit DAC as the first run of tubed output 32 bit DAC MP's has sold out. Scaena Loudspeakers will demo our speakers with this MP with DAC at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Room 2032- Tower Level 2. Please stop in if you attend.

Scaena1, thanks for cutting to the chase. I will be there for your demonstration.

Tbg - Given your impressive system, I look forward to meeting you and getting your impressions.I have found the Accustic Arts offers quality CD playback.
