Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems


Capitole MKII users, kindly update on the sonic virtues but also on any repeated technical problems. No forum postings since a week! Have these problems stopped? I understand that some units needed a software update; have these been recalled? Does the performance justify the high price? Please contribute.

I haven't opened my unit (note warning) so I cannot verify the new chip but my unit is only a couple of weeks old so I assume that it is the latest chip, but not certain.

The previous track button works like all others I have experienced while in "play mode". One push goes to the beginning of the track and two successive pushes goes to the previous track. This is pretty normal behavior for all CD and DVD players that I've ecountered.

While in "stop mode" the next/previous buttons sequence the track up/down with each push.
MY God we are talking about removing 6 screws.Unlike the MKI there are no wires attached to the cover.I am a dealer,and just about anyone with a scrwdriver can remove the cover.As for replacing the chip(if needed)that is another story.
I think the concern isn't so much one's ability to remove the cover, but like Rap says, the concern is voiding a warranty. That may even be worse than having the old chip IMHO.

Also, Sattothestars provided a great indicator about whether or not you have the correct chip...I think if you're getting data cutoff in between tracks on a live album, you more than likely need to discuss getting your dealer to update the software.
Well I am basing it off the fact that you have 2 chaoices.Obviously calling GAM is thw way to go.If they feel you are somewhat competent they will let you change the chip(if needed)yourself or you can send it back to them and be without a cd player for weeks.
