I just received the merak cd player/ripper and overall think its great except for these two issues i have. On certain cd’s if i skip,ff or rr to a song or two, if the song starts abruptly that first second of the song is cutoff. On songs that sort of fade in, i dont hear that problem as its the first second. Is there anyway to fix this? Not all cd’s but still its annoying on those that do this. Please tell me there is a setting for this.
Also, ripping cds, it says press the rec button, it will show rec at the bottom, doesnt spin up, so i hit again says “rec one” which i think i have to hit rec button again to get it to spin up. At this point the rec symbol is gone but its playing, and i can hear it through another dac i have through the optical cable although it states no output during ripping. If i try hit play button while its stopped and rec icon displayed it says hit stop first, which of course removes the rec icon and starts to spin up. So maybe its recording onto the usb stick. Im still playing with it to see if there was anything i missed as far as settings but i dont think so. No rip button on remote. Help!
