  1. A question which I haven't seen answered anywhere is the C.A.P.S v. Aurender/Melco/Totaldac/Antipodes etc. one. I'm particularly interested because I have a large - over 12TB - library which still has to have over a thousand LPs digitised. I use acourate to make the music sound good in my heavily WAF restrained room - which it does. This leaves me with two main alternatives: Use a C.A.P.S and have JRiver convolve the music on-the-fly, or; use AcourateNAS to permanently alter the music files so they can be played by a non-computer source. I use both options at the moment - not a C.A.P.S but my normal desktop PC. The main problem with on-the-fly processing is that Jriver seems to shut down on me every half hour or so - probably because I haven't learned how to write a text convolver file (no technical genius here!) and it probably chokes on the WAV correction files. I run my (permanently) corrected music from a NAS either through Jriver on the PC or directly to a Moon Mind 180. The Moon control point is primitive compared to Jriver which is very flexible and a joy to use. The trouble with having 200k tracks permanently altered is the obvious one of flexibility - not to mention the incredible amount of time invested in it - by the PC at least! No moving of speakers, no alternative "flavours" of sound etc. If the C.A.P.S is definitely inferior in SQ compared to the others, I'm willing to put up with the lack of flexibility. So, after all that hot air, has anybody compared them?
