Well, I'll post an update after I give it some more break-in time, but I've been playing it quite a lot. I have watched several DVD and Blu-Ray movies and also some Netflix online movies. I watch movies and Netflix as much or more than I listen to audio. However, I will now put a CD on repeat while I'm not using it. I hope I don't wear it out before the 30-days is up. ;-)
Best regards,

John,
That's why I suggested a zip drive with the music on it. No need to wear out the disk player when all you want to do is exercise the DAC and associated analog circuits.
I think you will be astonished with what the break-in does. I was.
The player also responds to aftermarket power cords. I tried two and the cheaper one worked better.

Yeah, good idea! I have a CD called "Irrational, But Efficacious!" that is designed for "system enhancement." I can copy it to a flash drive (they're called "flash drives" now -- there used be something called a "zip drive" years ago). If you have any other suggestions for a break-in CD, let me know.
Thanks,
John Elison
Good luck. I look forward to your impressions down the line.
I recently purchased the 105 but have not spent much time with it. Since I can do extensive mods myself, I'm not too worried since fundamentally it's a good design and has some features I like. I'll be using it for two channel unbalanced audio only (both movies and music) which will make the modification process easier.
For those that can't do their own mods, the EVS (tweakaudio.com) "Best basic mod for 2 channel unbalanced only" looks like a great value for $525. At around $1750 total, I'll bet this would be the current under $2k player to beat.
