yet another Capitole thread- yawn... I have owned it (MK I) and auditioned MK II in my system. While the sonic signature is easy to listen to (bass on MK II WAY superior to Mk I), I feel the transport section in both players is weak point- I know, 'cause I tested other superior transports into the digital 'in' of the Cap, and the result was quite superior to the Cap running full range.
Depends what you value, but for me, from the transport section, its the ability to extract as much information from the disc as possible- the Cap players do not do this IMO as well as other players (in particular, separate high-end transports). Am curious about the Res Opus 21 though- have heard good things about it. OK, that's it- back to the NHL playoff games- Colorado and Minnesota going to OT. Three Game 7's tonight- gotta love it!
