What makes the VRDS-NEO SOTA, and possibly the best transport, has nearly nothing to do with any software/firmware whatever.
A big, powerful, overbuilt, accurate motor, a magnesium clamping mechanism the size of the disc, an incredibly quiet, power supply, first rate connectors, wiring....
You cannot mitigate hardware corner-cutting with better software design. The VRDS-NEO proves that error correction has clear limitations.
The essence of great sound is HARDWARE.

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
