CD Player: Audio Aero Capitole Mk I vs. Mk II


Does anyone know the differences between these CD Players: the Audio Aero Capitole Mk I and Mk II versions? And which one is known to sound better? And does anyone know if the separate Prima DAC is almost the same as the Capitole DAC?

Here are a few differences:

1. Upgraded transport
2. Newer version of the Anagram chipset
3. Much beefier power supply
4. Better chassis construction
5. Higher quility volume attenuator

There are quite a few other changes as well.

Sonically I hear increased frequency extremes. More air on top and better control and depth in the bass. The resolution is also quite a bit greater.

While I am a dealer for Audio Aero, it is obviously in my best interest to justify the MK II over the MK I, however, I can tell you that if money is tight, the MK I is INCREDIBLE!

The current Prima DAC is not close to the Capitole MK II. A future release may change that.
