Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet?


I just received mine today and was looking for other's opinions about the MKII right out of the box as compared to the MKI (or other comparable players).

Grandpad,
Yes it is funny how the impression of the Cd player varies. Hey but that what makes this hobby so fun right? Like you the drawer is a major improvement. I now wish they would address the remote. To me there is no way a player of this price and sound should come with a 5.00 plastic remote. Yes I know it doesn't matter to some people but its kinda of like buying a BMW M5 with hubcaps.
I received mine yesterday (Monday) and it sounded OK right out of the box. I have a MKI and so far I like the MKI the best. Now the MKI was broken in and I was use to the sound. The MKII has more detail but is missing some of the magic as well as the bass. I have been running it overnight so I'm looking for it to break in in a few days and really come to life. I'm running mine directly into a pair of Atma-Sphere amps.
The functionality of the remote is way better than the MK1. There is no LED screen just push buttons. I have been playing my MKII since Monday and it is getting better. To me its starting to sound musical like the MKI. With the remote you can adjust phase, balance, volume, selection (digital ins and outs), tracks, etc. I'm having a problem where when I put in a new CD I can push play or selection #1 and it will play that selection. If I push anything else like track 9 it will not play. Now once it starts playing its OK. Anyone else have this strange problem?
Subaruguru,
Are you saying that no two products sound the same ever or right out of the box?
