HowdyGetting data reliably is much simper than they purport. Playing from solid state memory is also common place.
I don't have any idea how the player sounds, but the technical descriptions of the player given by the principles in the company are are ridiculous. They spend lots of energy solving non problems with Rube Goldberg solutions that presumably cost money to build into their product. This indicates that their engineers are lacking a degree of technical sophistication. They may well have a good sounding device, but if they do it's more of an accident than by design, at least given the information they publish here and at their site.
No matter if they are obfuscating or just lucky I wouldn't give them the price of their product even if it does sound great. I'd much rather support some of the many of engineers who can talk reasonably about their own well designed and great sounding products.
