Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems

Now that I see that thing I like the way the cap II looks better!

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?

Are you asking to get a digital output from a playing CD on the MKII ?.. didn't know that was possible, I thought only the Digital input of whatever other source is upsampled and then outputted via the BNC digital output..

BNC is used because its the best connection(I believe).
BNC is also certified to accepts and send digital audio conforming to the 75Ω S/PDIF digital interface standards and it offers the best and most secure connection. More equipment should have BNC as standard IMHO.

BTW, you can also get at your local Rat Shack gold BNC to RCA plugs.(adapter)

thanks

the Capitol Mark 2 does indeed output the digital information read by the transport via the bnc digital output jack[The only digital output on the Capitol].You don't need to access the menus to change anything just connect the appropriate digital cable between the player and your digital converter.
