I talked to Steve just a couple days ago concerning my RA Opus 21. He was extremely helpful. I have a long history with Resolution Audio which has always been positive.
Here's a quote from a thread I posted in back on 06: "A few months ago I purchased a Resolution Audio CD-50 cd player on ebay. The player sounded great but the stand-by function on the remote did not work. I asked if anybody knew of a fix for this problem on this forum with no help except for a suggestion by Ruebent to contact Jeff Kalt at RA. After explaining the situation to Jeff he decided my CD-50 needed an upgraded chip which he sent me at no charge. This was great except that it didn't fix the problem. Undaunted, Jeff looked further into the problem and realized my player would also need a new remote which he also sent me free of charge. I reinstalled the chip, put batteries in the remote and everything works perfectly now.
That is without a doubt the best customer service I have ever experienced. This was a used cd player after all."
