I've been listening to it for a few days now and I like what I hear. It has more detail than my modified vintage CD player which I expected but there's a lot more spatial information coming off CDs which I haven't experienced before with any player or DAC. It seemed to take a while to come on song when first switched on over the first few days but tonight it seemed to get there much quicker. At the moment I think the Philips player has a more natural sound with acoustic instruments, probably because it sounds very relaxed, but the DAC is really good with electronic music.

I've got to do something about that horrible blue led though
