The principe is to propose
a Capitole Cd without pre amplification section and no volume
controle.
This product is the first one entirely developped by the new Audio
Aero new team. It has been tested for 2 month now on the road,
has been showed and performed at the Munich show
with a huge success and it is now completely bug free.
This product summarizes what Audio Aero is now able to propose
in term of quality, sounding performance and reliability. It takes
the core of the Capitole Reference :
- CD Pro 2 transport
- Exclusive STARS 2 Module
- Outstanding DAC
However, Audio Aero have worked on every little aspect possible
to make it better: 75% of the parts are different from the Capitole
Reference.
- New Chassis and new cover for an improved manufacturing quality
and finishing
- New mother board with simplified routing and enhanced architecture
for better sounding quality
- New opening system with internal reinforcement bars for improved
reliability and better vibrations controle.
