Audio Aero Prestiges new transport?


Any knowledge if the latest Audio Aero Prestige sacd/cd-players already have a new (Sony?) transport?

Mine was out of warranty. They still replaced the transport at no charge. I have had no problems and it is so quiet. I'm very happy with their service.
I own the Capitole. Is the Prestige that much better? I have never had a chance to try one.

Oh, I do love the Capitole.
I live in Europe and I have been told that those new transports are out of warranty. They define them as upgrades and we have to pay for them. How much, I don't know yet, because they don't answer my emails and the local distributor is very passive about this process.
As far as whether the Prestige vs. Capitole is that much better should be determined by Unclejeff with a side-by-side comaprison with both units fully warmed up in your own system. To me the Prestige plays Redbook CD's outstanding. One of the largest differences I think you will note that the Prestige carries more realistic micro/macro dyanmics and a larger soundstage but this should be your call in your system decided by your tastes.
Mkili, Globe Audio of North America replaced mine (no charge) after 14 months.
