Audio Aero Capitole vs. Audiomeca Mphisto II

Bwhite I would appreciate it if you would expand a bit more on your observation that while the Audio Aero plays all the notes and sounds right the Audiomeca takes a listener to a new level of appreciation. I have been duly impressed with the Audiomeca having had the chance to listen in my system. But, with all the accolades recently heaped on the Audio Aero one can't help but be intriqued by it. I am in the market for a new cdp and am down to these two. Having not had the opportunity to hear the AA in my system I am reluctant to go that route. Thanks.

Bwhite, thanks so much for the reply. I found it extremely helpful. If I may indulge you one more time, I would appreciate if you might comment a bit more on the ics. The audio note is not within my realm. I had been using cardas golden ref on my old cdp and was planning to use it on the Audiomeca that is coming. From your comment on the Stealth I wonder if the cardas may be to polite for the cdp. Other than the Audio note do you have any thoughts on what may be a good match for the Audiomeca-one that will not bring out a softness. Again many thanks.
