What is new with the Memory Player?

I find it rather interesting that Kana made this post about the 32bit DAC suddenly being here and then APLhifi came in to to say they are using it, when you first questioned how could Nova Physics be using a 32bit dac when they don't exist, well clearly they do.

Alex said they don't exist because they were not commercially available and the chip was, at the time, unannounced. It's possible that Nova Physics also has samples to play with, but Alex was correct in saying what he did.

And don't be in such a hurry to drink the ECC and hard-drive Kool-Aid.

>Your attacks on the Memory Player and this sudden shift to promote your product is rude.<

Incredible.

The biggest self promoter in these threads accusing somebody else of shilling.

It doesn't get any better than this.

FWIW, I didn't take Alex's post as anything but a proof statement that 32 bit DAC's were not available up until this announcement! he never said he was using them, he said he had tested a couple of samples, and that when it is finally released he WILL be using them. He finds it hard to believe that with the scarcity of this in-development chip (available only for samples, etc.) that the MP DAC would already be based on it. Nothing shill about it.

You guys need to relax.....

They weren't talking about Alex. Read.

Okay, maybe I was being a bit hard on Alex but he has the one questioning how Nova Physics could be using a 32bit dac, in the first place.

Then shortly after he questioned how they could be using one, Kana chimes in with the announcement that low and behold 32bit dacs are available and then Alex comes in with with the fact that he too is going to be using this new chipset, it looks like first an attack on Nova Physics credibility and then as a PSA for APL hifi.

Personally I have never heard Nova Physics DAC nor APL's.

I would love to do a shootout in the DAC department.

All I can say is that I am using the Memory Player and the sound quality is a revelation and it crushes optical playback.
