What is new with the Memory Player?

At CES 2007 Scaena used the Memory Player with it's own internal tubed output DAC directly into a Gamut D200 driving the towers of our Scaena Model 1.4. We had planned to use the more expensive and exquisite sounding ASR Emitter Exclusive II but shipping company misdelivery caused a frantic search to borrow a brand new D200. At the 2007 Stereophile HE Show in May we used the Memory Player as a transport only sending a digital signal into the excellent Behold amp. At RMAF in October we will use the MP again with it's internal DAC directly into the ASR Emitter Exclusive II with our Model 3.2- assuming shipping company co-operation.

Sorry but Audiooracle is mistaken. Scaena used the MP with tubed output DAC at CES. It was a pre-production prototype to the extent that the production models would have different (better cosmetics), have some software improvements that make library titling and extraction easier, and thankfully remote control of volume. The DAC circuitry is in ONE BOX. I am awiting my own personal MP with 32 bit DAC as the first run of tubed output 32 bit DAC MP's has sold out. Scaena Loudspeakers will demo our speakers with this MP with DAC at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Room 2032- Tower Level 2. Please stop in if you attend.

Tbg - Given your impressive system, I look forward to meeting you and getting your impressions.I have found the Accustic Arts offers quality CD playback.

Raquel-Thanks for your kind comments. Mark Porzilli's and George Bischoff's involvement with both the Nova Physics Group and Scaena loudspeakers is well known. However, Scaena and Nova Physics are two completely independent companies with different ownerships. Neither I or Scaena Loudspeakers - the company - have any financial or other interest in Nova Physics and therefore can take no credit for the sound produced by the MP, except, of course, when exhibited with Scaena loudspeakers.

Raquel- Again, the relationship of Mark Porzilli and George Bischoff to both Nova Physics and Scaena Loudspeakers is well known and was specifically mentioned in this thread prior to my post by AudioOracle-hence it did not appear necessary to repeat it. It has been mentioned in almost every show report that has appeared about our shared rooms at CES and NY HE 2007 and contrary to not disclosing a shared heritage - we are proud of it, and attendees at shows are so informed. And no-Scaena Loudspeakers are not conceived, manufactured or assembled in Mark or George's garage, left or right side, or any other garage - unless that garage can accommodate: a million dollar CNC machine the size of a school bus that is used to fabricate the aluminum parts, the truck size water jet used to fabricate the base, or the equipment needed to form and make the ceramic composite parts. And finally, Scaena is a Florida Corporation since 2005 in which two(Mark and George)of the four Scaena shareholders also participate in Nova Physics.
