Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

The biggest problem.

The biggest problem is there are many choices available, but no opportunity for me to audition any of them. I live a long, long ways from any hi-fi shops, and will likely hear whatever player I get for the first time once it's bought and installed.

Another big problem is the lack of stores willing to sell by mail-order. Apparently most of the best manufacturers require stores to sell only to walk-in customers, so anything I buy is likely to be used. I don't mind buying used, in fact it seems many highly regarded players can be found this way at a substantial discount (thank you, you audiophiles with upgraditis!). But again, I wouldn't be able to actually hear any of them before hand, and I fear I'll end up with one that I find to be just so-so.
