Where did you get the idea that the player crashed?
I don't recall that ever being mentioned, I did read about turning it off and on again to cure a problem, I suppose that is re-booting but this is a CD player not a computer!
The Apollo is the best player for the money available. It out performs many players costing a lot more.
It has just been voted player of the year in its class by HiFi Choice magazine in the UK. (The Saturn won its class too).
There have been some software mods and there were some problems with early models. The player has been available in the UK for about a year now. There has been nothing like the number of posts on any UK forum about problems with the Apollo as there has on here.Most of the alarmist posts I have read on here have not come from owners, and those that have are not getting rid of their players!
I owned an Apollo for 8 months and the only reason I haven't got it now is that I own a Saturn.
The Saturn does totally lock out the controls until it finishes initializing btw.Why don't you demo the player, try the control system but above all listen to it!
