Memory Player vs Dedicated PC-TopUSB Conv and DAC

I too would love to hear from others a comparison of the Memory Player (Transport) V/S a well tweaked computer, at the moment I think Winamp with ASIO plugin + the sound card set at a latency of 2ms is as good or better than XXHighEnd player and most certainly ahead of the TRANSPORT of the AA. This is great as its free.

This project is the most exciting thing in the four years I have been in this hobby.

The only thing I've learned so far, is the Memory Player needs better dealers than Audiooracle if they want to be successful.

Thanks for the "nice" comment Kana. The Memory Player will be successful on its own merits, with or without me.

You also don't know me, my abilities, knowledge, or history and incidentally I am willing to bet I know a bit more about high end audio than you do: I have been selling equipment professionally for 20 years while working at Innovative Audio and Sound by Singer, before I opened my own shop.In that time period I have sold and setup hundreds of systems and sold thousands of pieces of gear.

You name is over the years I have played with most of the mega buck gear that is on the market, and those who actually know me, know that I form my opinions only after a lot of listening.

Also as I have stated before I am not the only one who believes in the superiority of the Memory Player so does:

Clemment Perry, Greg Patan, Arnie Barglavis, Dave Clark, and Harry Person and there are many other reviewers who are replacing DCS and Zanden and EMM Labs with the Memory Player so it really can't be too bad a product. I am also willing to bet that at least one of those reviewers have played with other similar systems.

I believe in the product, but I am also open to the comparisons others are interested in.

The Memory Player sounds amazing and I as well as the other two gentleman on this thread who actually own one will attest to that.

My only fault is believing in my products but as I said I am willing to test and validate my products constantly.

And lastly Kana don't you listen to what your mother told you, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it.

I think that a valid point is being raised. Not about Audiooracle as an individual, but about a lack of a dealer network. I would love to audition this player. Where is the Chicago area rep? Why do I have to wait for a shootout at some show, the results of which probably have little relevance to me and my system. Who will take care of it if (or when) it breaks down? I know that these same points could be raised about many other small companies in this industry, but I would hate to invest this kind of money without some assurance that Nova Physics will be in business 2 years from now.
