Audio Aero Capitole MKI vs. MKII

I'm in the market for a pre-owned digital front end, and after hearing all sorts of raves about the Capitole, I'm interested. My questions are:

- How big of a difference is there between the MKI version vs. the MKII? ($1500 or so difference between the two)

- What will I be giving up, if anything with the MKI?

- Would I be better off with the latest Prima? Something else?

My associated components are: Merlin VSM-Ms, Berning ZH270, and a First Sound Presence Deluxe MKII preamp, Audience AU24 cabling all around.

Thanks!

Just a thought that is a bit off your question. Do look into Meitner gear if your budget can stand it. It is nothing short of amazing - far beyone thet Aero Capitole capabilities and most any other CD products. His DAC is as good as it gets and the new transport is stunning as well.

Good Luck -

A few points for you:
.
First, try reading the post more carefully and you will realized that I was trying to answer his question and be help. He did ask if should try something else.
.
I have no affiliation with Meitner except that I was incredibly impressed with his DAC and transport when I heard it on several occasions.

My post is 8 months old and was just after I had heard a lenghty session at a friend's house and was totally impressed with the sound.

What is your point other than digging up old threads and looking for a reason to be pompous, negative and obnoxious. You have suceeded quite well.
