Bryston announce that they drop their CD Player production: http://canadahifi.com/index.php/bryston-bcd-1-cd-player-dies/ I'm presently testing the Simaudio MiND, here's some details about the MiND: No display (headless), no physical remote, support up to 192Khz, Spdif Coax-Optical and AES output available, for the moment remote control is done via IPad, other platform and OS will be supported in the future. The MiND is also available as an add-on module for some of the pre-amp, integrated amplifier and DAC available in the Moon family. Remote control via Sim-Link is available, meaning that the MiND could be connected to a Moon pre-amplifier or integrated amplifier and the volume control could be accessed trough the MiND software. Simaudio had an interesting approach for synchronization between MiND units and zone control, they add a -time stamp- by de-embeding and re-embedding each file, this way they could sync perfectly in time different MiND players without introducing audio delay. The MiND and the control software are still in development, when using the control software the album navigation is fluid and theactual interface is minimalist but quite friendly. For the test we used Vortexbox 2.0 as a Network Attached Software with various flac files mostly 44.1Khz, but also 48KHz, 88.2KHz, 96KHz. -- mftech Tête à FLAC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mftech's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1586 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94020
