Opera Audio Consonance ref 2.2 owners?


I just purchased an new Consonance 2.2. I am in the break in stage at this point. I like to get some feedback from some current owners if I could. What you really think of this player? Mine sounded horrible when first turned on.
Seems to be warming up nicely though.
I bought by the reviews I have been reading out here. All seem so positive. So far, the only complaint I have is they claim it has a solid cherry top. Mine has that light colored European hardwood that so many kitchen tables seem to be made of these days. Do any of you others owners have the same?

Thanks for any replies in advance.

Johnnymac, You've had a couple of more weeks now, what do you think? I'm interested in the 2.2, so how about your impressions now. Also, I was wondering, I know that the 2.2 has XLR outputs, but is it fully balanced?
Thanks, Sonny
I have had the 2.2 in my system now for a couple of months, and I too am very pleased with the sound of this player.
My ONLY disappointment with it is that the remote volume control does not work when playing it using the XLR outputs. The VC only works on the RCA (tube) side. I had to get a balanced preamp to play it that way.
