Audio Aero Prestige new trans cannot read cd/sac


My Prestige, equipped with the new Sony transport, has problem in reading CD/SACD. The player simply stops reading, lies quietly, plays no music for a few seconds before it and music resume.

Do any Prestige owner have the same experience as I do?

Thanks.

Thanks.

My player has dsd text and for sure it is the Sony transport.

Initially I suspect it was the frameware issue and all prestige owner should share the same experience as I do. Now it seems I am the only person who experienced such and it is likely to be a particular machine problem.

Any more insights?
Sorry to hear what happened on your Prestige, avguygeorge.

If my Prestige plays music, be it CD or SACD, continuously for a few hours (6-8 hours), the "stop-resume" problem will surface some point in time. When it reboots, it goes to "Line In 1" and volume down to -40db.

Today I report my case and the dealer plans to collect the unit back to the workshop. Tough luck.
The human voice is reproduced so beautifully by the Prestige. My love of opera lands me on Prestige too.

Just now the "stop-resume" problem happens again! I have no choice but let it goes back to the workshop. Music without Prestige would be like strawberry without cream.
I felt sorry for Number95. The stop-resume problem happens on me all the time. If yours is one-off, then it is not the same issue that I refer to.

The reliability of French products, be it SACD player or a car, might not be up to the par as we wish. My unit is produced on 2007 Jan, so New Year holiday symptoms applied.

As far as preamp is concerned, my Prestige is running with Boulder 1012; Boulder 1012 adds to the imaging, soundstage, and dynamics, especially micro-dynamics.

Wstam, load a SACD onto the tray, if the display shows “Title xxx, Artist xxx” then your player is equipped with the new transport.

My player is now on her way to France. I hope she sleeps well and eats well. Can't wait for her return.
