I too purchased one a few months back. I've owned a lot of players and I enjoy this one as much as any I have ever had.
(various Sony's including an SCD-1, Meridian 508-24 and G08,
Ayre, Cambridge 840c)I wanted a player for both formats and I have not been disappointed at all.
To your point, I have not found the player to be bass shy at all. Just the opposite. It has very deep and powerful bass when called for. It does this with extremely good definition and delivers what is on the disc. The player has excellent drive and a wonderful overall smoothness. I just can't complain honestly.
