Someone is going to make a huge profit on this one! TAll the promo material i read gives no indication that it is anything other than an esoteric CD play back system of 16 bit 44.1 resolution. Interesting is the use of a class D amp. This I presume is the defining component of this system..... but for $230,000 i would rather have the piano of the same name and spend the change on some nice mics.
From the linked article:
For all its over-engineered musical firepower — Mr Lyngdorf says the internal workings support audio resolutions 2000 times current hi-fi standards — the system contains only a simple CD player.
