Can You Play That from Memory?
The Memory Player uses technologies found in professional mastering studios, as well as some proprietary ones.
If you've read any misinformation in newsletters or forums, please read the follow "News Brief" to put any
ambiguities to rest. Please check back for more news updates several times a month.

  • Memory Playback technology was invented by Nova Physics and released in 2004.

  • No freeware CD rippers that we are aware of can reread. They may have a checkbox for rereading, but if
    you time extraction with and without it, you'll notice it barely changes. If it rereads, it takes far longer
    naturally but the fidelity is unsurpassed.

  • The popular EAC CD ripper does NO rereading as it cannot implement the code.

  • EAC-based memory players USE Reed-Solomon error correction. Claims to the contrary are marketing-based
    and not based on engineering. The Memory Player NEVER uses error correction.

  • A hardware based memory player cannot be updated easily if at all. It can only be replaced with newer
    hardware. If a memory player uses inevitably antiquated hardware platforms when computer control is
    available, it is a marketing decision, not an engineering one. A computer-controlled Memory Player can
    be continuously updated (often by the end user) all the way to a 32 BIT performance. This is one
    reason recording studios use computers mixing in 32 bits. 24 bit or EAC and most freeware ripper-based
    memory players are stuck in time, and are not scalable. In addition 24 bit memory players are very lossy in
    16 bit mastering and are never used in professional applications.

  • The Memory Player plays HRx and all DVDA and DAD formats. Specifically: 16/44, 16/48, 16/88, 16/96,
    16/176, 16/192, 24/44, 24/48, 24/96, 24/88, 24/176 and 24/192. It can play protected CDs and DVD Audio for
    personal use as well. It can also play 32/215, the standard in the finest studio mixers. It was the first to do so.

  • Recent memory player copycats claimed "new" technologies based on EAC freeware are the first or the first
    to support high bitrate formats. The Memory Player supported the above formats in 2004. We always did.

News and Updates
The long awaited "Complete Technical Analysis Report" is being EDITED and will be posted on March 30,
2009.

The report has taken the form of a classic "White Paper".  Some of the topics that will be explained in great
detail and with mathematical proofs are:

  • The ORIGIN of the fault in the Reed-Solomon code chosen in 1982 that predictably degrades the sound of CD.

  • The INVENTION of Memory Playback in 2003.

  • What IS and what IS NOT a "Memory Player".

  • Intelligent REREADING instead of error codes, known as RUR    .

  • BIT DRIFT THEORY, perhaps the single greatest concept created to explain digital audio sound. Bit Drifts are
    audible time delays of bits within the byte and are mathematically demonstrable. In 1982, they were
    erroneously judged to be "inaudible" .

  • DIGITAL DATA INTEGRITY (DDI), a byte free of bit drifts. Bits within the byte with NO time errors, which
    are literal mirrors of the master. This CANNOT be accomplished with burst code correction (all Reed-Solomon
    codes are burst codes).

  • SOLID MEMORY PLAYBACK, literally jitter-free and Bit Drift-free digital audio that CANNOT be
    achieved through CACHES or RAM.

Reviews and awards only tell you how The Memory Player sounds, but The White Paper will tell you WHY.

Please visit us on March 30th and read the first publication on digital audio structure in 26 years. It's important.
It's MUSIC.

Thank you for your thousands of letters and to our 20,000 supporters!
