New Audio Aero Capitole - Mid March

Has anyone seen or heard of specifics regarding the new Capitole that's going to be released in the US market sometime in mid-March?

Here's what I've heard: New verson of Anagram's 32/192 DAC, new and better transport, new aluminum chassis, no more front knobs /possibly better looking unit/ DSD pass thru.

If anyone has seen it, please let me know how. Like the knucklehead I can be, I've ordered one sight unseen.

What do you mean by DSD pass through? Will it send out a DSD data stream so a DAC can process it? The only DSD DACs out there I know of are Accuphase and DCS. Will the Audio Aero do SACD internally?

I heard so much about these players I'm thinking about buying one now as well...

I can't answer the question about DSD pass through at this time. I was given this information, but really don't know how this will work until the unit is released.

As a dealer in Michigan I hope to preview the new Capitole in Montreal in two weeks. My understanding is they will be released soon after the show. I hear they sound better than the current version. Will spend time with the distributor and have as many details as possible on March 24.
