I've retired my modded version, and just had it out while working on my DAC, and was reminded of what a nice sounding player it is (though not exceptionally detailed).
But mine had serious issues: a ton of "scratchy" transport noise, and major pickiness about reading discs (rejecting at least 1 in 4, new discs included).
I sent it to Jolida in Maryland, and they couldn't find anything, suggesting that whatever was wrong got "jostled" back in order when I shipped it to them. Could be, but it must have gotten "jostled" back out when it got sent back to me.
Don't know current state of company, but reliability and service a red flag for me. On the other hand, if you bought from Underwood, I expect Walter would make things right.
