Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems


Capitole MKII users, kindly update on the sonic virtues but also on any repeated technical problems. No forum postings since a week! Have these problems stopped? I understand that some units needed a software update; have these been recalled? Does the performance justify the high price? Please contribute.

The only real way to find wether or not you have the new chips is to remove the cover.It is correct,that there are a# of cds that have that casue the Capitole to have this 50 mm dropoff.If it is P chip it is NOT the new chip.Take 5 minutes to find out.
Sattothestars; It clearly states in the owners manual for the Audio Areo Capitole MK11, in bold type, REMOVING THE COVER OF THE UNIT WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. I just thought you all should know this.
Has anyone with the "verified" new chip tried to use the previous track function? When I use this button, it only returns to the beginning of the current track. I believe the old chip honored the previous track function as indicated. A little help please...........

Thanks!
I haven't opened my unit (note warning) so I cannot verify the new chip but my unit is only a couple of weeks old so I assume that it is the latest chip, but not certain.

The previous track button works like all others I have experienced while in "play mode". One push goes to the beginning of the track and two successive pushes goes to the previous track. This is pretty normal behavior for all CD and DVD players that I've ecountered.

While in "stop mode" the next/previous buttons sequence the track up/down with each push.
