Audio Aero Capitole 24-192

The Audio Aero Capitole is revered as both an exceptional CD player and a phenomenal 24/192 DAC. 

It's in very nice condition, with remote and a 14 gauge power cord. 
DAC inputs are coax S/Pdif, TOSLink, AES/EBU and BNC S/PDIF.

Outputs are RCA or Balanced XLR. 

This unit has built in volume control for use directly to a power amp if you wish!

Our exclusive STARS process
(Solution for Time Abstraction Re Sampling), a combination of very high
speed 192 kHz RE-sampling (a new jitter free clock is created), a 24 bit
re-quantization and signal enhancement technique (extraction of
"hidden" information from 16 bit data, improvement of dynamic,
precision, soundstage, and details), developed for Audio Aero by Swiss
company Anagram Technologies SA. The core of the system is a 32-bit
SHARC DSP, which, by performing hundred millions of calculations per
second, rebuilds a high precision 24/192 Hz signal, independent from the
input clock, and keeping total dynamic range in all stages. Then, after
a 1024 times up-sampling on demand, D/A conversion is performed at
6.144 MHz by a high performance 24 bit/192 kHz DAC. Analogue output
stage features sub-miniature tubes and high precision buffer with
built-in high quality volume control for a perfect match between
high-tech digital treatment and musicality.

Even feeding the AudioAero with a Sonos Connect produced a startlingly lifelike realism on drums with fantastic timing!  Really impressive!

Selling for a client who's downsizing and has to release his main system.  This player has been carefully cared for and was recently given a full service, complete recap, and clean bill of health by Steve at Talking Dog - one of the premier digital systems techs in the country. 

Unit does not include original box but will be packed very carefully, double boxed with lots of padding.
