What is new with the Memory Player?

Yes, it is I. Looking forward to seeing U again and it's also nice to know that U are still interested in hard drive based systems.

Is there any final resolution as to whether those at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest will get to hear the Memory Player and its 32 bit dac compared with the VRS unit?

I see that both Nova Physics & VRS Audio are on the line-up at RMAF. If anyone had a chance to hear either of these, or compare them, please chime in.

Thanks

I heard the Nova Physics in the Scaena speaker room at RMAF. Although I was not able to hear my own music (they ripped it for me but couldn't find it in the system the next day) the memory Player/ASR/Scaena system sounded quite good. I cannot compare it to anything else I heard becuase everything (room, treatment, equipment, music, etc.) were different. Unfair to compare. I also did not hear the VRS. I heard other great digital players, including the EAR Acute, the Modwright Transporter, the AMR and the Linn Klimx, and all sounded very nice in their own setups. Impossible to say that the Memory Player was better or worse.

I agree with Tembrady about the Scaena room sound. At least I can say that the MP 32 bit unit exists. I heard the present VRS also, but both it and the MP were on systems that I did not know. Both sounded good, but both paled after I heard the Feastrex speakers on Sunday.

I also heard the new Accustic Arts Tube dac, the AMR, the Exemplar/Shanling CD-3000, and the Einstein prototype player. The MP alone whetted my appetite given what I heard. Maybe, however, it was a result of my prior expectations.
