Here's my review of the player, which has been modded with technology from Vacuum State Electronics.As you can see, I have mixed feelings about it. It did sound pretty good, but measured rather poorly.
The good news is, Joe says he has addressed some of measured anomalies that I reported, and he thinks it may further improve the sound.
Many thanks to Allen Wright for arranging for a review unit to be sent to me, and to Audioholics for agreeing to publish the review.
