Audio Aero Prestige Upsampling

You are not alone is having failed Audio Aero products. They are very poorly made and the customer service (at least from here in the States is awful). I have a Capitole player. Your manual should state whether the digital input gets upsampled or not and also whether this can be set by you. I believe on my Cap the digital input is upsampled. Though, its broken (surprise surprise) at moment. Went back to France a while ago and has never worked since its return.

Audio Aero products are just plain unreliable, IMO/IME. The service shop in Arizona seems to be completely incapable of doing anything, other than just changing the tubes. So don't even bother sending your equipment there, just send it straight to France and keep your fingers crossed.

Thanks...if it turns out that it is upsampled it's long term future for me is as a DAC...I think it's spun it's last disc

I feel for you. It is disappointing to spend this type of money for a product that is so unreliable.

Eryan,
Yep I'm in the same boat.I have two.One Prestige works /other on doesn't.
Until I can find something better.
How does the Transport sound?
I am wondering about a "Sound Science Diamond" Transport.
Seems simple and doesn't require a computor.Anyone try these?
I'm pretty sure the digital sampling remains at 24/192.And does not upsample SACD from outboard transport.
Using the Analogue inputs with a phono stage ,sounds great to me.
