I was number 4 in the que and therefore one of the first purchasers of the middle model which is a transport.
Build quality: The drawer is a flimsy wobbly affair that may end up on your listening room floor any day. The drive mechanism clanks and wheezes and gave me no hope for a long life. Otherwise solid and beautiful.
UI: The operation is video first almost demanding you have a video monitor on continuously. To constantly have to go through a DVD menu to play music is more than I could live with.
Service: They may have worked out the kinks, but my player would not play DVD Audio at all and had a couple of other issues that I have thankfully forgotten. I won't go into detail, but lack of manners and condescension factored in.
In returning the defective player they made me cover the return shipping!
You have been warned.
