I have had a few of these, great highs. But it lacks alot in low in punch, including midbass.
I had one actually smoke up on me, hooked up all correct, was playing then poof smoke.
Its very picky with mp3 cds and copied cds. Even when burned at 1x and high quality verbatims.

Heard a few other people had this issue, if you do get one have it checked out first.

Not really rare, when panny marketed this unit they catered for a niche of high end users and thus only a handfull(releitivly) would have been made based on their percieved demand. Then too this was geared for the asian markets IIRC and at the moment there are units that can do more and cost the same (dex-99, 01, f1 etc etc).

Awesome chit to own doh..
