Merak CD Player Not Truly Gapless?

[mistertee]

I just received the MERAK CD player which I ordered directly from China through Fosi's commerce site.

I was of the understanding that the Merak a true gapless player, however I'm occasionally experiencing hard audio gaps between tracks that should transition without interruption (ie: applause breaks between tracks on certain live albums).

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks, Mike
