...is a memory player.Seriously, as I understand it the chief technical claim is that the "memory player" addresses the problem of reading errors--but such errors are, in fact, quite rare. Widely available free software (is it EAC? Sorry, it has been a while for me) allows you to evaluate this for yourself using your computer's CD-ROM drive.
This is a great example, by the way, of why a certain level of technical competence is important in audio. This may be a wonderful, amazing-sounding player--I'm making no claims here about how good, or bad, it sounds, since I haven't heard it--but as far as I can determine the technical claims made for it are not correct, so if it sounds great it's probably for a different reason than they claim.
