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.

This is a correction to my post of 11-07-02.
The chip in my CDP was P1 and not P2. It has now been replaced and no problems after that. Everything works perfectly.
Interesting article on the upcoming Audio Aero SACD/DVD player at: http://www.HIGHENDNEWS.COM/

Specifically, "Audio Aero's new SACD player converts DSD to PCM to improve sound":

One does kinda get used to the cap II, doesn't one? Kinda like a favorite old shoe... :-)

hello what's the secret combination to getting a Mark 2 to send the data read off the CD through the digital output connection[bnc] so it can feed my digital converter? Why didn't they make the bnc output a coax connection? I have the correct digital cable with the correct ends just not getting sound output from the digital converter? Help please or I may have to shoot the player. Where are my bullets anyway?
