Audio Aero Prima MkII vs. MkIII newest styling?


I was curious if anyone has compared the Audio Aero Prima MkII to the newest version of this CDP?

I understand that they moved from a Philips to a Sony transport and a few other modifications have been done as well. I am curious to know if it would be wiser to purchase a new one for about $800-1000 more than a used mkII on here? Are the sonic improvements worth the added investment?

Any thoughts/comments on the differences between the two players would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I had the MK II . I had to keep sending it in for new transports ! That got old for both AA and myself .
They finally sent me a new one with the Sony transport , under warranty . A very good company along with their North American distributor , Globe .
I never even listened to it and moved on to a much better CDP for about the same cost as the new Prima's .
The member that bought the brand new Prima did not keep it either .
You are lucky if you have not had any transport problems !
